Welsh and Ospreys full back is expected to be back in action very soon, at least according to team mate James Hook, who is currently occupying the full back position for Wales.

In an interview with the Western Mail, in which he again talks about his desire to play outside half, he says that Lee Byrne is expected back by the time James returns to the Liberty stadium from International duty.

“And with Lee expected back around the time I return to the Ospreys, they probably will move me back to 12. To be honest, I’ll have to wait and see until I go back.”

Great news for the Ospreys and Wales. The Ospreys could certainly use one of the best full backs in the world in the Christmas regional derbies and the following Heineken cup games, and it will allow him to get back to match sharpeness ahead of the Welsh 6 Nations Campaign.

My big hope though is that he is not being rushed back… he has suffered a recurring injury and he is such a talented player, possibly the best fullback in the world, that it is not worth rushing him into playing for the sake of a couple of derby games if he is not up to it yet.

But if he is ready – then great news!
