Sonny Bill Williams has taken to social media to fire back at fans after copping criticism earlier this week.
Williams was slammed by fans after posting a snap of his wife Alana and their eldest daughter Imaan cruising around Rarotonga in a roofless convertible car.
The photo looksrelatively innocent until people noticed his toddler daughter isn't strapped into a car seat, causing schools of people to comment disapprovingly.
After receiving a barrage of critical comments, Williams posted a photo of him and his daughter Imaan - who this time was safely strapped into a car seat - with the caption: "We're home safe & sound. Thanks for all your concerns."
Fans commented on his initial Instagram post saying: "Don't wanna be a total mum but seriously - car seat dude!"
Another wrote: "Family comes first but no car seats - come on sonny u should know better."
And another: "Where is the carseat...she's not big enough for a seatbelt either..bcos she's small that seatbelt can cause spinal injuries...can't buy back time mate."
Among those who came to Williams' defence was All Black teammate Lima Sopoaga who posted a photo to Twitter to argue that Williams' indiscretion is not a big deal in Rarotonga.
