Sir Ian Botham's joy as grandson is picked to play rugby for Wales England cricket legend Sir Ian Botham is looking forward to supporting his grandson James when he makes his rugby debut for Wales.
James Botham - the son of former Cardiff rugby player Liam - is in the Wales Under-18 team to play Scotland in Swansea on Friday.
Sir Ian, 60, does not find it strange that his grandson will be wearing red.
"He was born in Cardiff. He always wanted to play for Wales for as long as I can recall," said the ex-all-rounder.
"I'm really looking forward to it. I think it will be wonderful, a great occasion for James and one that I think he's very excited about, as are the family. I've got a red shirt with me." http://www.youtube.com/rugbyworlds/ Please subscribe my channel.
