Apparently being drafted in as cover for Henson, plus Bowe, Walker and Williams whilst their playing for Ireland, Scotland and Wales respectivly.

I don't know what to make of this. On the one hand, a potential backline of Byrne, Tuqiri, Bowe, Hook, Williams, Biggar and Phillips is mouthwatering. On the other, Tuqiri is a disruptive presence who seems more intersted in boozing, starting fights with teammates and picking up big money paychecks than in performing to the best of his ability.

Ospreys replace a prima-donna with an alcoholic hey and if Henson come back they'll have both

But 1 think between fashion and boozing the X-mas party should be good :lol:

Not exactly the stabilising presence they need but it will be interesting to see how he gets on.

Point taken. He'll fit right in :lol:

Can we assume so that Gavin Henson's rugby career is over?

But been serious if Tuqiri is serious and not coming for cash but medals then this could be a very dangerous backline. But still think it a risk as Tuqiri has always had cloud of controversy follow him and interesting to see himself and SNK have history

Whatever you say, Tuqiri is a legend of both codes. He'll have a lot of positive input to give the Ospreys, even if it is just in bringing on youngsters.

The risk is will input be value for money

I don't think after this years Super 14 the word "Fly" and "Lote" can be used in the same sentence, a correct title for this topic would be "Lote Tuqiri set to jog out onto the field and do nothing in particular for 80 minutes with the Ospreys."
