Sonny Bill Williams has told Radio 5 Live he felt it was his duty to 鈥渟tep up鈥� as a high-profile Muslim, after the Christchurch mosques attack.

In March, a gunman killed 51 people at a mosque and Islamic centre during Friday prayers.

The New Zealand rugby star, who converted to Islam in 2009, told 5 Live鈥檚 Tony Livesey he wanted to 鈥減reach positivity鈥� following the shootings.

鈥淚 stepped up. I represented not just the Muslim community that was hurting but also the New Zealand community.鈥�
