Josh Navidi: Wales rugby player

[jspworld]

The rugby union's Six Nations is just around the corner and Wales has picked a player whom I suspect is Iranian - correct me if I'm wrong. Navidi sounds like a Persian name so... Here are a few links about him:

Iran joined the IRB in 2011 and is actively looking for foreign players eligible to play for iran

they already have some great results against asian teams who have been playing rugby for much longer.

this guy fits the bill perfectly. someone email the iranian football federation

Let him have a run for Wales first Iran will improve, my brother told me that we did pretty decent in the World Cup qualifiers. If investment is put into Iran rugby, then I think it will reach the level of Japan. I'd say in about 15 years this will happen.

Perhaps few of our wrestlers who don't quite make the top grade in wrestling can have a go at rugby ,I am sure some of them can be quite good at it.
