蜜芽传媒

Ali Williams tells the 蜜芽传媒's Extra Time he went into a 鈥渄ark hole鈥� to prepare mentally before games, describing it as a place that allowed him to go beyond the pain barrier. He did this to relax and control his pre-game excitement.

The former New Zealand rugby union player says rugby is about more than "two guys colliding" and involves thought and team work.

Ali Williams recently retired from his French club side Toulon. His former national team, the All Blacks, just defeated France in the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
