Thursday Morning Round Up

McCusker signs up for the season

The Ospreys have agreed to extend Rob McCusker’s short-term contract with the region, signing up until the end of the season.

“I’m really happy to be staying here for the rest of the season and hopefully longer. I’ve had a great welcome from everybody and I feel I’ve fitted in to the group well," said McCusker.

“I know that there is strong competition in the back row but I want to fight for a place. I hope that I’ll do enough to get some game time sooner rather than later. That competition can only help the team.”

The Welsh international initially linked up with the region as injury cover last month, assisting with pre-season preparations ahead of the new campaign.
