Tamaiti Williams on anxiety, and fatherhood
All Black Tamaiti Williams is in recovery mode after having surgery to fix a meniscus injury at the end Super Rugby season. The tighthead prop played a leading role for the Canterbury Crusaders in a final that saw the black-and-reds return to Super Rugby supremacy after a disappointing 2024. While he rehabs his knee, Williams and other rugby stars are opening up on their physical and mental health challenges, as part of a campaign by All Blacks' partner, Bupa. Tamaiti Williams speaks of his experience of anxiety, particularly with the premature birth of his now 15-month-old daughter, Kaea. Tamaiti's partner Alice Weir had a difficult pregnancy with pre-eclampsia. Kaea was born 3 months early - and then had a long period of hospital stays.
