What would have the Ospreys done without Bowe this season? Initially bought from Ulster to strengthen the wing department he's had to provide cover and play at 13 for most of the season. In today's game at London Irish he played the second half at full back when Vaughton went off. He slotted easily into the position and his defensive work helped the Ospreys through. Bowe is fast becoming an essential player to the Osprey's squad. His place in the Ireland team on the wing looks pretty safe, and with a tidy 6 Nations he should secure a place in the initial Lions draft of 50 - 60 players. His play so far this season for the Osprey's has shown his versatility and superb skill set. This for me gives him the clear edge over other players such as Sean Lamont.
One man does not make a team but if the Osprey's lost Bowe their back line would be a poorer unit. I'm already predicting that he will walk off with the Osprey's Fans' player of the season award.
