LIST | 5 lesser known siblings of current England stars

They may be less popular and have less fans than their England international sibling, but this fact doesn't make them less awesome as they make their own way in the game.

1. Tom Cowan-Dickie, brother of Luke

A product of the Penzance & Newlyn RFC’s youth section, Tom initially developed his rugby through the club and at Mounts Bay School, as did his younger brother Luke. The 28-year-old, who also plays hooker, first joined the Cornish Pirates in 2010, and signed a new two-year deal in May 2020.

2. Will Joseph, brother of Jonathan

Will Joseph, from Newbury, Somerset, followed in the footsteps of his brother, England and Bath Rugby centre Jonathan 'JJ' Joseph, towards a career in professional rugby by signing with London Irish's academy. Will, who is an outside centre, has also played in all the England U18 league matches, crossing for several tries.

3. Callum Watson, brother of Anthony & Marcus

The scrum-half was plighted by injuries towards the end of his time with London Irish and subsequently was not offered a new contract at the club; and has since had stints with Loughborough Students and Chinnor RFC.

4. Phil Cokanasiga, brother of Joe

Phil, who like his brother has kicked off his career at London Irish, made his European and Premiership debut in the 2019/20 season. The centre also made appearances in the Premiership Rugby 7s competition at the beginning of the campaign.

5. Frankie Nowell, brother of Jack

The versatile 17-year-old back, who has a big reputation, is making a name for himself on the south coast. Currently plying his trade with the Exeter Chiefs U18, he is certainly a name to watch out for in the future.
