Another Hewson steps on to the big rugby stage
Dan Hewson has long has to live in the shadow of his famous uncle, ex-All Black Allan Hewson.
The Lower Hutt caretaker has played exclusively in weight-restricted grades throughout his amateur sporting career.
On Saturday, the 38 year-old will lead his Eastbourne team out onto Sky Stadium in the newly-established NZ Barbarians Under-85kg Club Cup tournament. It will no doubt be a massive career highlight for the 260-game veteran, whose uncle Allan was a slightly-built fullback that tipped the scales at just 73kg.
Eastbourne’s quarterfinal against Wellington will be played as a curtain-raiser to the Mitre 10 Cup clash between the Wellington Lions and North Harbour and will be televised live on Sky Sport.
