Rugby Player Denies Being Served

Sonny Bill Williams insists he hasn't been served with any legal documents relating to the court case against him - but after making a successful rugby union debut in France, he remains defiant about threats to seize his assets or even jail him.

Williams, who declared in Saturday's Herald that he was willing to go to jail if necessary over his desire to switch codes, said he felt the same way about the possibility of losing his $1.3 million house at Caringbah after the NSW Supreme Court ruled he could not play for anyone other than the Bulldogs until 2013.

"Like I said before the game, if they think that I should go to jail for doing what I believe in or if they want to take my house, take my car or take whatever for standing up for what I believe in, then so be it," he told the Herald . "I stand by whatever I've done and to me there are bigger things going on in the world today. They [the NRL] should be more worried about what's going on with the game itself than me."

Asked about claims he had been served with legal papers advising of the court injunction after his match for Toulon, Williams said he had not received any court documents.
