1st XV Watch: Rocco Berry, son of former All Black stars for Silverstream

By RugbyPass

St Pats Silverstream is on another undefeated run in the Weltec Wellington 1st XV Premiership, winning six from six while amassing an impressive for and against of 372/44. One of the young stars of the side is fullback Rocco Berry, who is the son of former All Black Marty Berry.

Berry senior played for the Hurricanes seven times as a utility back and represented New Zealand ten times, with one test match appearance. His son Rocco has been on form for the St Pats 1st XV, showing immense ball skills with backhand flicks and nice footwork.

With a well-rounded backline, the team has moved the ball with high-level handling even in the worst of conditions to score some brilliant tries. Berry, along with four other members of the St Pats Silverstream 1st XV have been selected to attend the Hurricanes under-18 camp with a host of the best talent in the region. Last year's camp included talents like Folau Fakatava and Lincoln McClutchie of Hastings Boys who were national champions.
