Famous rugby father and talented son triumph at Principality Stadium as coach and captain

Ireland forwards coach Simon Easterby has been lending a hand on the coaching staff of his son's school team in recent weeks, helping them win Intermediate Group Year 8 Cup Final on Monday.

After finishing up his Six Nations duties with Ireland, Easterby - who played over 150 games for the Scarlets - joined the Bro Morgannwg coaching team, led by Rhys Beynon. Easterby's son, Ffredi - who has also represented Wales under-13s at cricket - is captain of the side who beat Penweddig 31-19 in the final at the Principality Stadium.

Tries from Trystan Coates, Efan Vaughan, Evan Weekes, Richie Jenkins and Evan Mitchell and three conversions from Rhys Muxworthy gave Bro Morgannwg an unassailable lead, capping a fine day for all involved, including the Easterbys.
