          All Blacks centre Sonny Bill Williams has hit back at critics of a social media post that showed him and his wife driving with their eldest daughter Imaan not in a baby seat.

          The Auckland Blues back was on holiday in Rarotonga, Cook Islands having featured in New Zealand's end of season whitewash tour of the Northern Hemisphere.

          Last Sunday he posted the picture which caused a backlash on social media with concerns over his daughter's safety.

          But Williams hit back on Friday, with another social media post showing him on his couch with Imaan, this time in a baby seat.

          International teammate Lima Sopoaga came to his defence, posting a picture stating that it was a "way of life there".
