Ulster scrum-half Nathan Doak is more than happy to be known as “Neil’s son” but is equally determined to carve out his own life and legacy at the Kingspan Stadium.
Lest anyone forget, the 20-year-old, who has shone in white since bursting on the scene 12 months ago, is the son of former Ulster No9 and head coach Neil Doak.
With a well known dad who has trodden a similar path at Ulster, Doak is accustomed to having his father name checked at every staging post of his young career.
