Are there any Welsh left playing for Ospreys?

Yes, he will be the only foreigner in the pack along with 7 welsh internationals, and 2 more in the backs, so that makes 3 foreigners.

How many do Tiggers have ?!

Terrific signing OIL!

Scary to think the NZ set-up were prepared to release him. They have awesome strength in depth!

I think he looks seriously possessed in that photo!

Yeah sure is, we will have a hell of a squad next season just a shame we couldnt change the coach.

That's because he's got All Black Gibbes. It's frostbite, poor fella. Should have kept 'em wrapped up warm.

I see, at the ripe ages of 29 and 31, the Ospreys are looking for sucess in the future......

Looking good, Osprey.

Do you think there is still a question mark at 10 ? Is Hook the answer ? Mind you, being outside Marshall would be a pretty good place for Hook to prove if he has what it takes (or doesn't).

Why can't some "former" all blacks come over to Leinster - we need a bit of a
spark seeing as most of our players went to Leicester :?

No Hook isnt the answer yet, Ive seen him play a few games club for Neath and he is very hot and cold but he does have bags of potential.

I am hoping they sign a quality 10 but there arent many about who are available.

since when has 29 been old, Corry is nearly 33 and he is still going strong.

Got to hand the Ospreys that one. Thats a top signing. Johno Gibbes is an immense player, he will really make a difference to them. If it wasn't for the fact we were so well covered at lock and back row I would have been hoping for us to sign him.

I really am not interested at all in what the Ospreys are doing or not doing. :roll:
