Special moment as Soane Tonga'uiha presented jersey to son ahead of his debut match

To receive your playing jersey ahead of your first match is always special but to receive it from your dad who played for the same club is much more than that.

Sonny Tonga'uiha, son of Soane, made his debut for Northampton Saints in their first round match against Leicester Tigers in the Premiership Rugby Cup.

Soane, who played 184 times for Sains and scoring 115 points, presented Sonny his first match jersey.

 Sonny joined the club’s Academy at Under-14s level and has been involved in a handful of England camps over the last two seasons.
