Rugby career
Brooke was a founding member of the Southerners Sports Club (Bangkok), who was a member of Taradale RFC in 1994. Zinny's autobiography, written with Alex Veysey, appeared in 1995.
Brooke is regarded as one of the best number eights to have ever played for the All Blacks. He had the running and kicking skills of a backline player, making him extremely mobile and agile as a forward. In a 1995 Rugby World Cup match, he scored a 48-meter drop goal, one of three he scored in test matches.
Brooke was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 1997 for services to rugby.
Brooke scored his third drop goal against Wales at Wembley Stadium on November 29, 1997, granting him the rare distinction of being the only rugby player to have "scored a goal at Wembley Stadium." Christian Cullen was also trying to make it into the game.
Will Carling, the former England centre and captain of The Daily Telegraph, released his list of the "50 Greatest Rugby Players" in 2007, naming Brooke as the ninth best player of all time.
