Bath Rugby have bolstered their front row resources with the signing of powerful Tongan international prop Taufa'ao Filise on a contract until the end of the season. With Matt Stevens now established as part of Andy Robinson's England squad, Duncan Bell on stand by and David Flatman taking his first tentative steps towards a full comeback, Bath Rugby identified the need to add an experienced and proven front row campaigner who will add quality depth to the squad at prop. Filise certainly fits the bill. An exceptionally strong prop who can play on both side's of the scrum, the giant Tongan cuts a formidable presence on the rugby field, weighing in a 19st 5lbs and standing a towering 6' 4.
