Wearing it on his chest

St Helen’s rugby league player Kevin Naiqama has spoken of his faith in Jesus after his team beat Catalans Dragons to win the Rugby Super League. He scored two tries in the game and was made man of the match.

Speaking immediately afterwards on TV, he said: ‘First and foremost I have to give thanks to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ … I just want to glorify Him in this moment … ’ Naiqama has texts from John 3:16 and Romans 10:9 inked on his chest, as well as a drawing of the Last Supper on his back. He previously told rugby-league.com: ‘I’m a big believer that Jesus died and rose again for us. I’ve got tattoos at different times in my life, they all have a different meaning. Most of them are based on my faith.’ The Super League is still largely defined by rugby league teams from the north of England, but recently has seen a fresh infusion of energy from top French teams such as Catalans Dragons and Toulouse Olympique.
