All Blacks great Zinzan Brooke’s son will play in the Six Nations


All Blacks great Zinzan Brooke’s teenage son Lucas will have the chance to impress Eddie Jones when he makes his England under-20 debut against France.

The 19-year-old has been named at openside flanker – the position his father played on his All Blacks test debut against Argentina at the inaugural 1987 Rugby World Cup.

Here’s a list of rugby legends sons who are set to play in the Six Nations.

1. Lucas Brooke (England)

  • Age: 19
  • Club: London Irish
  • Position: back-row
  • Dad: Zinzan Brooke (New Zealand)

Brooke, who can play across the back-row or at hooker, grew up in England so is fully qualified to wear the red rose. The powerhouse has represented Berkshire at county level and regularly played for his school, Wellington College.
