Sweden: home of ABBA, IKEA, Volvo - and Western Force prop Markus Vanzati, the Nordic country’s first international professional rugby player.
“That is my claim to fame at the moment,” said Vanzati, who is in line to make his World Series Rugby debut against Melbourne Rebels on Saturday night at nib Stadium.
Vanzati has travelled an unusual road to reach Perth: from the resort town of Jarvso - population 1400 and best known for skiing and its zoo collection of large Nordic animals - to Strathalbyn in South Australia, Toowoomba Grammar School, Brisbane club rugby and the Queensland Reds.
