    Swazi world record

    Swaziland set a new world record when the four Takis brothers took the field against Botswana in Africa’s newest competition, Super 16, in 2004. The four Takis; Dez, scrum-half, 24; Bazil, fly-half, 28; Bud, centre, 22 and David, wing three-quarter, 27.
    The only other families known to feature four international brothers are Portugal’s Cunha and Himmer of Germany, but while three of the Himmers, one is the current German Union Secretary, Volker, played together, only two of the Cunhas played together in the same team at the same time.
    Another well-known trio were South Africa’s Luyt brothers (Freddie, Dick and John), who played during the 1912-13 UK Springbok tour and the Bougja brothers - Abdelrahim, Nasser and Abdelaziz – the latter is the current CAR President - who represented Morocco in the 1980s.
    The three Ella brothers, Mark, Gary and Glen, though capped during the 1980s, never played together.

    There were also the Du Plessis brothers:
    Willie, Michael, Carel & Jacques - Jacques never played for the Springboks, but the other 3 did (not at the same time though).
