Ospreys recruit Samoan second row

[Cymro]

The Ospreys have signed Samoa captain Filipo Levi from Japanese side Ricoh Black Rams to cover an injury crisis.

Wales cap Ian Evans is out for the season and Lyndon Bateman suffered a serious knee injury playing for Aberavon at the weekend.

The lock, 29, has made 66 Highlanders appearances in the Super 14.

Filipo is a great signing. Hope he does well at Ospreys.

Exciting news, a solid lock and a good ball carrier.
