It’s a big weekend for any Greek boy and when you are a rugby playing Greek boy like Christian Kagiassis it’s a huge couple of days.

It’s Greek Orthodox Easter on Sunday and thousands of extended Greek families around the country will gather to celebrate one of the big occasions on their calendar.

Roast lamb, tsoureki (a sweet bread), red eggs and all the usual side dishes will be there, the meat usually on the spit by the time the sun rises on Sunday.

But before any of that happens and the extended Kagiassis family comes together there’s the not so small matter of Christian helping Southern Districts notch up their second win of the Shute Shield season against Northern Suburbs at North Sydney Oval on Saturday.
