    All Blacks legend Sir Bryan Williams has slammed the exclusion of Samoa and Tonga from rugby's new Nations Championship, set to start in 2026


    Fiji and Japan are likely to join the Rugby Championship and Six Nations sides in a new, lucrative global league.

    Williams says a lot of Samoan and Tongan people are nonplussed.

    Kickoff's at five past two, live commentary on Gold Sport and iHeart Radio.
