Seaford College Sports Dinner interview with Zinzan Brooke

Zinzan Brooke was guest of honour at Seaford's Sports Dinner. Seaford interviewed Zinzan and discussed his professional career and the advice he would give to Seaford students who aspire to play professionally and for England or another international team. A former New Zealand captain, Zinzan is widely seen as one of the finest number 8s ever to have worn an All Blacks jersey. His decade-long international career included 17 test tries, a world record for a forward at the time, and Will Carling once ranked him as the ninth greatest player in the history of the sport. He is probably most famous for the extraordinary 48.5-metre drop goal he scored against England in Cape Town during the 1995 Rugby World Cup. The video features Headmaster, John Green who played rugby for England U16s, U19s and U23s and captained England students for three years. He played professionally for the Saracens from 1992 – 1997. John Green coaches the rugby teams at Seaford College and is often seen in his suit and wellies being tackled by one of the players! John and Zinzan discuss what it is like to play for your country and their mutual respect for former England player Richard Hill. The Sports Dinner was held to raise funds for Seaford's 2017 rugby and netball tour of Australia and New Zealand. www.seaford.org
