Falcons swoop for Wallabies star

Australian forward Owen Finegan has agreed a two-year deal with the Newcastle Falcons.

The 32-year-old, who currently plays for ACT Brumbies, has been capped by the Wallabies 51 times, including the 1999 Rugby World Cup final against France where he played alongside current Falcon Matt Burke and scored a second-half try to guide the Australians to victory.
