Lucas Brooke, son of All Black great Zinzan Brooke, has scored in his debut for England Under 20s in their 38-22 Six Nations victory over France at Cardiff Arms Park, Wales on Sunday (NZ time).

The 19-year-old openside flanker, who was born in England, scored early in the second half to spark an England comeback after the team were down 19-3 at halftime.

The 1.84m forward plays for London Irish and has previously represented England at age-group level.

Zinzan and wife Alison have lived in England for almost 25 years.

In a Stuff report, the media outlet quotes Zinzan as telling Rugby Pass in 2020 that Lucas "doesn’t know New Zealand at all".

"It’s a big call but why would you stop your kid just because it’s England – it’s his call.”

Zinzan told Rugby Pass his grandparents were English and that his wife’s parents are also English.
