7 lesser known players who are brothers of International rugby stars

Even though one of the brothers garnered more fame than the other in some cases, both siblings are still well known among avid rugby fans.

However, that is not always the case...

See if you can spot the family resemblances...

Scotland fullback Stuart Hogg’s brother, Graham, has played for Scotland in the IRB Sevens World Series as well as representing his country at under-18, under-19 and under-20. A very talented player, his career did not take off in the same way as his younger brother due to a number of serious knee injuries.

Sam Warburton, who captained the Lions in 2013 and 2017, has an older twin brother, Ben, who played at semi-professional level with Glamorgan Wanderers RFC and is now a physiotherapist for the Cardiff Blues.

The versatile back, who has a big reputation, is making a name for himself on the south coast. Currently plying his trade with the Exeter Chiefs U18, he is certainly a name to watch out for in the future.

The younger brother of Ireland fly-half Johnny Sexton, he represented Leinster Rugby at schoolboy level but did not make the professional academy. The lock then moved to France to play lower level rugby before joining Exeter Chiefs. Following further stints with London Irish and Jersey Reds, Sexton joined South African Pro14 side Southern Kings on a three-year contract ahead of the 2019–20 season. He's now training to be a police officer.

He is perhaps best known for being Martin’s younger brother, but yet played over 200 times for Leicester and gained a number of caps for England ‘A’. A good club man, known for technique and work rate.

He spent his three-year professional career between 2002 and 2005 at Newcastle Falcons, alongside his brother, Jonny, predominantly playing as a Centre.

A product of the Penzance & Newlyn RFC’s youth section, Tom initially developed his rugby through the club and at Mounts Bay School, as did his younger brother Luke. The 28-year-old front-rower first joined the Cornish Pirates in 2010, and spent 11 years at the club before joining Leicester Tigers.
