Leinster have signed former Australian international Lote Tuqiri.
33 year old ex Rugby Leaguer Tuqiri joins the Blues on a three month contract to provide cover as they wait for the arrival of the South African winger Zane Kirchner.
While Leinster should be boosted for the RaboDirect Pro 12 tie against Ospreys at the RDS on Saturday evening by the return of Fergus McFadden who withdrew from the win at Scarlets with a hamstring injury.
