All Blacks midfielder Sonny Bill Williams has suffered a fresh injury.

The 33-year-old has pulled up with a tight hamstring during the All Blacks training camp in Auckland and could be in doubt for the first test of the year in Argentina on July 21.

He missed a big part of the Blues' Super Rugby season with a knee injury, returning for their final match of the season.

The hamstring injury comes just over two weeks out from the clash in Buenos Aires and with Williams fighting with four others for just four midfield spots for the upcoming World Cup, the injury couldn't have come at a worse time.

The two-time World Cup winner played for Ponsonby in club rugby last Saturday, but New Zealand Rugby has confirmed Williams will not play club rugby this weekend.
