The NZRU’s offer to re-sign Sonny Bill Williams is on the table and they are giving the All Blacks second-five time to make his decision.
As always with Williams, there is endless speculation over what his next move will be, caused by his insistence on only signing one-year deals.
His ban with the NRL comes to an end next year and Australian media have been reporting since February that he is close to signing with the Sydney Roosters.
But the NZRU has not given up on keeping one of the most marketable sportsmen of either code.
Meanwhile in the results the Chiefs have moved to the top of the points table after beating the Cheetahs 39-33 last night, Crusaders brought an abrupt end to the Stormers six match unbeaten run with a 31-24 victory.
The Brumbies secured their fourth win after thrashing the Rebels 37-6, the Waratahs held on to beat the force 23-18, and the Bulls beat the Lions this morning 32-18.
Looking at the points standing the Chiefs lead with 31 points, Stormers are in second place with 29 points while the Brumbies are third with 27.
