Tommy Bowe was amazing at the Ospreys. Test level at wing and 13. Excellent fullback too. Even amongst the Osprey's 'Galacticos' of the late 2000s, he stood out.

With 36 tries in 77 games for the Ospreys between 2008-12, 4th in the all time list, and two league titles, you won’t be forgotten in these parts either, whatever you do next 👍👋
