WELLINGTON (Reuters) - All Blacks centre Sonny Bill Williams returned to the rugby field on Saturday after serving a four-match ban for picking up a red card during the British and Irish Lions test series.

The 32-year-old played about 60 minutes in an intra-squad game for his provincial side Counties-Manukau's 'B' side after his ban ended on Friday when the All Blacks played a warm-up game without him ahead of their Rugby Championship opener.
