The Nasser sporting legacy has grown uniquely special over the past 12 months, heightened by Josh Nasser's call-up into the Wallabies side to face Wales.
Different family combinations are celebrated across sport, think Lebron James and Bronny James in basketball, the Murrays in tennis and the Sutherlands in cricket.

But the Nasser bond is special, with eight-Test Wallaby Brendan set to watch son Josh debut on Saturday, followed a fortnight later by daughter Bella playing at her first Rugby Sevens Olympics in Paris.
Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt was impressed with Josh's background as a prop, where he started at Australia U20 level, giving the Red a chance as he looks to build experience in the position.
"We've been really happy with the way he's trained internally and he's a very strong scrummager," Schmidt notes.
"Josh is an ex-prop so he's moved into hooker there so he gives us a really strong scrum in the back half of the game.
"Billy's (Pollard) a good scrummager as well. It's just an opportunity to broaden the group a little bit. It's a position that we don't have a massive amount of experience. Even Matt Faessler, who starts, has not had too many test matches, less than 10."
Josh had always wanted to follow in his dad's footsteps, who helped Australia claim the 1991 Rugby World Cup.
“Growing up, it was the coolest thing ever to have dad play for the Wallabies so I’ve always strived to get there," he told reporters in Brisbane last month.
However, the journey was far from straightforward as Nasser overcame significant ankle and pectoral injuries that saw him miss almost two years of action in the maroon jersey.
"There were moments there (when I thought the Wallabies' dream was over),” Nasser admitted.
“I had a pretty nasty injury sort of a couple of years ago now. It was tough to come back from,
“There were points last year I didn’t play much footy, but there were points where I thought, ‘is this ever going to sort of come good?' Thankfully, to our medical staff at the Reds, it did.
“I played all 15 games this year, so that was a big goal of mine at the start of the year to look after my body, and I think I’m still standing here now, so I’m feeling pretty good.”
Fellow hooker Faessler has been with Nasser every way of the journey since they played together at Schoolboys.
Faessler gave an insight into what it means to see Nasser break through and get that Wallabies call-up.
"It's super special for his family but for me and all the Queensland boys on a personal note, it's awesome to see 'Nas' achieve what he's potentially going to this weekend and as a close mate I'm stoked," he said.
"It was a pretty loud, raucous cheer when his name popped up on the projector, especially the Queensland boys who know what he's been through the past years.
"It's thoroughly deserved and all of us are keen to see him take the field this weekend."
It also sets up a dream July for the Nasser family, with Bella's place in the Olympics squad confirmed last weekend.
It's a far cry from the backyards, with Josh and Bella reflecting on their growth from their early battles to gold jerseys when Josh was called into the initial train-on squad.
“Competing for everything, Bella has always been a fiery girl when she was younger, doing low chops on the other brother and he’s a maniac,” Josh said on the family dynamic.
“It’s always been a very competitive family environment, especially in the touch footy environment so she’s doing really well.”
"He's probably not wrong but he was also a maniac as well when he was younger," Bella retorted.
"...In his defence, he's always been the calm person to defuse it between our youngster and myself. Very competitive in the calmest way possible.
"My family is obviously very supportive of Josh and me as well as our other siblings but they never put pressure on us to play Rugby or do anything we didn't want to do.
"It all fell in place"
