RU:Flyhalf heads west as Reds bolster lock stocks

Welsh club Ospreys have continued to raid Australian talent while an emerging playmaker will head west to escape a Super Rugby Pacific flyhalf logjam.

Lawson Creighton's move from the NSW Waratahs to Ospreys comes after Australian pair Liam Wright and Lalakai Foketi were recruited earlier this month

Creighton began his career at the Queensland Reds before moving south last season and spending time in the No.10 and centres.

His departure from Ballymore came as Harry McLaughlin-Phillips emerged.

The 22-year-old flyhalf had been linked to a move last season before playing 11 games this year with Reds teammates Carter Gordon and Tom Lynagh battling injury.

But with teenage playmaker Finn Mackay earmarked as one for the future, the former Junior Wallabies talent will pack his bags for Perth on a three-year deal with the Western Force.
