Returning son of a Wallaby legend could become a Yank
By Jon Geddes
RANDWICK forward Christian Poidevin is on America’s most wanted list.
The impressive backrower, whose dad Simon is a Wallaby and Galloping Greens legend, has been approached by US rugby officials about making himself available for the Eagles national team.
Poidevin, who returns to the Randwick team for Saturday’s game against Eastwood at Coogee, has spent four seasons playing in the MLR in the States and is eligible for selection as he has dual citizenship because his mother Robin Fahlstrom was born in Chicago.
“They asked if I would be interested, I don’t know if I would necessarily be picked,” Poidevin told Rugby News.
