Josh Navidi's famous dreadlocks, visiting Iran and the special meeting with Jonah Lomu

Josh Navidi's journey to becoming one of Wales' most important players is a suitably interesting one.

However, the versatile flanker recently sat down with World Rugby's The Openside to discuss what makes him tick, as well as offer more insight into his background and how he became a Welsh international. Unsurprisingly, the dreadlocks were the starting point of the discussion, with Navidi revealing they won't be around forever.
