Bath have signed Tonga international Ma’afu Fia on loan from Ospreys, the Welsh URC club, until the end of the current Gallagher Premiership season. A Bath statement read: “A 2009 Junior World Cup winner with New Zealand U20s, Fia played provincial rugby for Manawatu before spending three seasons in the Highlanders’ Super Rugby squad.

He switched to Wales with the Ospreys in 2015 and his performances for the Swansea-based outfit saw him earn his first of eleven Tonga caps in 2018, before representing his country at the World Cup a year later.

“Fia has been a consistent member of the Ospreys squad for the past seven years and has amassed over 100 appearances for the Welsh region. He links up with Bath with immediate effect and will be available for selection for this weekend’s match against Leicester Tigers in the Gallagher Premiership.”

    Bath head coach Neal Hatley said: “We are grateful to Ospreys for allowing Ma’afu to join us as injury cover until the end of the season. He is a strong scrummager with international experience and will add value to our tighthead options alongside Will Stuart, D’Arcy Rae, Johannes and Kieran Verden.”

    Louis Lynagh makes 2 bold England predictions

    I am Krissy by name, greetings to everyone reading this testimony. I have been rejected by my husband after six years of marriage because another woman had a spell on him and he left me and the 3 kids to suffer. One day when I was reading through the web, I saw a post on how this spell caster on this contact drakerecospellcaster@gmail.com or WhatsApp: +2202890676 has helped a woman to get back her husband and I gave him a reply to his contacts and he told me that a woman had a spell on my husband and he told me that he will help me and after two days, I will have my husband back. I believed him and today I am glad to let you all know that this spell caster called Dr. Akereco, has the power to bring lovers back and help you in any situation. I'm happy with my husband. Thanks for Dr. Akereco.
