WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Brother and sister Sonny Bill and Niall Williams have been named Sunday in the New Zealand men's and women's rugby sevens teams to compete at the Rio de Janiero Olympics.
Sonny Bill Williams' inclusion in the 12-strong men's squad gives him a chance to add an Olympic medal to his two Rugby World Cup-winner's medals and his titles in Super Rugby and Australia's National Rugby League.
Niall Williams, a mother of two, a twin and one of four Williams siblings, has been named by coach Sean Horan in a 12-strong women's squad which is seeded second behind Australia in the Olympic tournament.
