League comes first for Berrigan family

Brotherly love is alive and well in the Berrigan household in Brisbane.

Barry Berrigan has told his brother Shaun he should play for Australia against Great Britain in Saturday's Tri-Nations league test rather than be best man at his wedding.

Shaun, named on the bench for the test yesterday, wanted to be at his brother's wedding at Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast.

"It wasn't difficult in my eyes, it's a no-brainer," said Barry. "I get to spend the rest of my life with him."
