Lienert-Brown replaces Sonny Bill Williams in All Blacks

New Zealand have called up uncapped Chiefs centre Anton Lienert-Brown to their squad for the Rugby Championship in place of the injured Sonny Bill Williams.

Williams was ruled out to anywhere between six to nine months with an Achilles injury suffered in pool play with the sevens team at the Olympic Games in Rio.

21-year-old Lienert-Brown was brought into the All Blacks camp last week to train with the squad.
