Twenty-two seasons into Super Rugby, the lessons learned by the original professionals are now being passed to their children.
New Zealand under-20s winger Caleb Clarke is one example.
Clarke is already enjoying some benefits of being one of New Zealand's best young rugby talents.
His father, Eroni, played 10 Tests for the All Blacks and starred in the Blues and Auckland's early domination of pro-rugby.
There's pressure being the son of a rugby star, but there are also benefits.
"Dad gives me a lot of tips and it's a long car ride home if I get stuff wrong," says Caleb.
The winger co-captained Mount Albert Grammar to the New Zealand secondary schools title last season.
He's also won age-group athletics titles and says his dad's idea that sprint coaching would help his rugby has paid dividends.
New Zealand under-20s coach Craig Philpott says Caleb's natural abilities make him an excellent rugby player.
"He has great natural ability and a big part of that could be genetics, but he's fast and strong," says Philpott.
"He really exemplifies what a lot of New Zealand rugby is about.
"Our job is to mould him into being a Super Rugby player and an All Black."
If he can follow that path, Caleb Clarke could quickly make a name for himself.
