The former league superstar Sonny Bill Williams further silenced his critics with a blockbuster performance in the All Blacks 49-3 victory over Scotland at Murrayfield this morning but the midfielder is refusing to get carried away.

The second five was solid on defence and a constant threat on attack his trademark ability to offload quickly becoming a lethal weapon at test level.

Williams form provides a pleasant selection headache for the All Blacks coaches, but the Canterbury second five says he's still got plenty to prove.

In other international rugby England thumped Australia 35-18 at Twickenham, South Africa pipped Wales 29-25 in Cardiff, France beat Fiji 34-12 in Nantes and Argentina edged Italy 22-16 in Verona.
