Zinzan Brooke was guest of honour at Seaford College's sports dinner.

He was interviewed about his career and the advice he would give to Seaford students who aspire to play professionally and for their country. Brooke discussed what it was like to play for your country and his respect for former England player Richard Hill.

A former New Zealand captain, he is widely seen as one of the finest No8s 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.
