Brothers who play together, win together

Canadians Jamie and Phil Mackenzie are one of the 13 pairs of brothers competing in Rugby World Cup 2011, and the duo hope to continue a winning streak that began last year.

The brothers began playing together in the Canada jersey in late 2010, defeating Spain and the USA. The two games were a trial for younger brother Jamie, who is now a permanent fixture at his brother’s English club team, Esher.

The same club and national jersey are not all the boys share. “We do quite a bit together, playing video games, double dating,” said Phil, 24. “My girlfriend is best friends with his girlfriend. He met his first, and I met my girlfriend through his girlfriend.”
