Sonny Bill Williams has been challenged to a swimming race by an unlikely contender - an eight-year-old boy from Auckland.
Sam Howarth filmed his video challenge to the sporting star earlier this week.
"He is a bit of a keen swimmer and he is just a massive fan of Sonny," said Sam's mother Kelly Howarth.
The video was shot at Northern Arena fitness centre, where Mrs Howarth works.
Sam has been swimming since he was six-years-old and has opened the challenge up to freestyle, backstroke or breaststroke - Williams' choice.
