Siblings Louis, Tom and Nick dominate the rugby dynasty household’s dinner table with the genuine ambition of all making the 2027 World Cup — and all with different Test nations.
Former Australia fly-half Michael Lynagh’s three sons’ heritage means they could wear the Red Rose, represent the Wallabies or the Azzurri.
Louis is back in Harlequins colours after a nine-month knee injury battle; Tom is tearing up trees at Queensland Reds; while Nick is in Quins’ academy.
“We could play for three different countries, because we’re Italian, Australian and English,” Louis told Standard Sport. “It would be so cool if Nick plays for Italy, I make it with England and Tom for Australia, and we were all to end up at the 2027 World Cup.
“It’s pretty awesome for Tom to go to Australia, play a different style of rugby and experience that. I miss him a lot. Hopefully he misses us, but he doesn’t miss the weather! And, hopefully, Nick can come through and play professionally here.
