Will be interesting to see how he gets on, ship sailed in South Africa

What kind of player is he? Haven't seen him play before, but from the picture he doesn't look like a crash-ball type centre, so is he a creative one?

He isn't really a crash-ball or creative centre. He is decent sized (185cm, 95kg) and has a bit of pace, so really the average South African centre. I would imagine he is best at OC, and will probably push Bishop (unless his form improves). He should do well at the Pro12 level. He wasn't really used at S14 level, so we will have to see how he can handle Heineken Cup rugby.

Well, his defence w has never struck me as adequate, got a decent attacking skillset with a bit of creativity, but in general was always a bit average for the Bulls, was onlya matter of time before he left.

So a little like the other three main centres the Ospreys have?

Yes. They still need someone with some creativity in midfield. Between Dirksen, Beck, Bishop, and Watermeyer, you have very little variety of playing styles.

[Draggs]

One on red button right now, actually.
A bit difficult due to image cropping, but here is a shot at it:

 

[SelimNiai]

Nice, couldnt do it to my banner sig could ya?

 

[Draggs]

Certainly can. Just will be a bit, trying to watch Cardiff right now. I'll get a good variety of hats in the meantime.
