NZ Prime Minister's son is a gun on the rugby field

By Online Editors

Some are saying that New Zealand Prime Minister Bill English only has a couple of days left in his job. But if that's the case, at least if he loses the election he'll have more time to watch his promising son Xavier out on the rugby field.

English Jr. was the captain of the St Pats Town 1st XV in Wellington, and was also included in the Hurricanes under-18 squad this season. Playing at openside flanker, he has an open door policy to entry at the breakdown.

Even though his dad has only had the job for less than a year, it's fair to say that Xavier has definitely achieved more in his career as the Prime Minister's son than the guy before him.
