The stellar success in upsetting David Warner’s mindset by South African crowds who utilised a mask of Sonny Bill Williams has spurred a range of copycats employing the same tactics to upset their rivals.
Originally the masks were brought into the cricket ground by some spectators as a way of trying to ridicule Warner, whose wife Candice had a well-known encounter with Williams in 2007, years before she met the Australian vice-captain.
The tactic has since been employed in Parliament where rival political factions taunt one another across the house of parliament at Question Time.
However, it would seem Australia’s hopelessly out of touch politicians missed the point as Sonny Bill Williams is irrelevant to ministers of government.
Unless of course SBW has made sweet love to all their wives and girlfriends in cubicle 3 of the Clovelly Hotel.
Which is not impossible.
