Ben Foden will never force his unborn son be rugby player like him

Rugby ace Ben Foden has revealed that he will never force his unborn son to follow in his footsteps as a rugby player, but would like him to be sporty.

The 29-year-old Northampton Saints player, who is already dad to two-year-old Aoife Belle with wife Una Healy, said that his unborn son is obviously going to grow up knowing that his dad has been a rugby player and he’ll come to see games, so he will very much be in a rugby environment but will never be forced into it.

He added that he wants him to play lots of different sports, like golf and cricket, as it helps a per son to be a more rounded athlete anyway.
