name the 3 brothers who played tests for nz

 

[Chip and Chase]

3 brothers from the same family or 3 sets of brothers ??

I was thinking
Iro (Kevin and Tony)
Tamati (Henry & Kevin ??){how good was the stoush between one of them and Dish-head Dowling}
Ropati (Joe and Tae ??)
Anderson (Vinnie and Louie)
Paul (Henry and Robbie)
brothers.

Not sure if any of them had an extra brother that played to make it 3 from the one family. I can only think of two brothers in each of the above cases.

there have been a few leuluai's over the years, possibly up there for most from one family.
