    Overseas sides target Force prop Fairbrother

    Western Force prop Tim Fairbrother is attracting attention from overseas.

    Fairbrother, one of the best Australian Super Rugby scrummagers, was ignored by Robbie Deans for the Tri-Nation Series and was unlucky not to have gone on the northern hemisphere tour after injuring a calf muscle at a Wallabies training camp.

    The New Zealander is eligible to play for the Wallabies because he has Australian grandparents. He moved from the Hurricanes last year.
    The Force are keen to keep the strong front-rower who was an unsung hero of Saturday's 39-12 loss to the Sharks. But it is understood the Harlequins club want to get him to the UK after the 2011 Super season and several New Zealand sides are also interested.

    as long as it is not used ( by Tim) ,there is no problem

    or do you mean:

    as long as it is not used (preloved) ,there is no problem

    ;P

    it would be very difficult for the club to send one already used by tim,to tim,
    unless of course,he,(tim) had previously sent it to the club as an answer to a previous overture(so to speak)

    OOPs the context I meant was used by Tim after he got it... I wasn't clear enough.

    We really need to re-sign Fairbrother or Dunning. I'm pretty sure everyone would prefer Fairbrother. Otherwise we would go into season 2012 with no experienced tighthead prop.
