Brothers: Phil Cokanasiga, and inset, Joe

GETTING the better of his big brother in the back garden was always the goal for Phil Cokanasiga, and his sibling remains an inspiration.
Joe Cokanasiga has forged a successful rugby career, winning 12 England caps, and he continues to be a key figure on the wing for Bath.
Now centre Phil, three years younger, is looking to make his own mark as he embarks on a new challenge with the Ospreys.
He has arrived in Wales after spells at London Irish and Leicester, with his talent having seen him capped at age-grade level by England.
