Jonah Lomu's two sons are helping keep their father's name alive in rugby, more than a decade after the All Blacks legend's death.
Dhyreille and Brayley Lomu have thrown their support behind a new foundation and youth rugby tournament celebrating their dad's remarkable career.
It marks an interesting development for the brothers, who previously had ambitions of making it in professional tennis rather than following their father into rugby.
Now, they are helping give the next generation of players a chance to shine.
Jonah Lomu's sons involved in new rugby project
The Jonah Lomu Foundation was launched earlier this year, with the family determined to build something lasting in his memory.
A major part of those plans is the Lomu Legacy International U18 Sevens Tournament, which will take place in Auckland on December 12 and 13.
The event will bring together young players from New Zealand and overseas, with a focus on developing talent and celebrating Māori and Pasifika culture.
Brayley has already spoken about what the project means to the family.
"We are extremely proud to have our father's legacy linked to such positivity. The foundation will be driven by our family, and Dad wouldn't have wanted it any other way," he said.
Their mother, Nadene, is also heavily involved, with hopes of eventually taking the tournament to other countries.

The brothers have made headlines before because of their international sporting ambitions.
Dhyreille was born in Marseille while his father was playing in France, giving him a connection to the Six Nations country.
Both sons previously spoke about the possibility of representing France, although tennis became their main sporting focus.
Neither has confirmed plans to pursue a professional rugby career.
For now, their involvement in the new project is about helping young players rather than pulling on a jersey themselves.
Their father remains one of the biggest names the sport has ever produced.
Lomu scored 37 tries in 73 Tests for the All Blacks and changed the way wingers were viewed around the world.
He died in November 2015, aged just 40.
More than a decade on, his sons are now playing their part in making sure his name remains part of rugby's future.
