Bowe opens talks with Ospreys on new deal

IRELAND winger Tommy Bowe has opened talks on a new contract with the Ospreys to fend off interest from his homeland.

Lions star Bowe has caught the eye with a string of outstanding performances since his big-money move to the Liberty Stadium 18 months ago.

Now Ospreys bosses are desperate to keep hold of the former Ulster ace, whose contract runs out at the end of the season. Bowe is a rare member of the Ireland squad plying his trade ‘overseas’ but Munster and Leinster are leading the chase for his signature to back him home.
