Blues get a Pumas wing

 

The 37-times capped Puma spent two seasons with Leicester before heading for France where he has had spells with Montpellier and Oyannax.

 

Now the 28-year-old, who can also play at fullback, is on his way to the Arms Park to bolster the Blues back division.

 

He is the latest international recruit for the Welsh region, who have signed up the likes of Adam Jones, Jarrad Hoeata, Josh Turnbull, Manoa Vosawai, Tavis Knoyle and Craig Mitchell in recent months.

 

They will be further boosted by the imminent arrival of Welsh-qualified Kiwi flyhalf Gareth Anscombe, who will come on board next month once he completes his NPC commitments with Auckland.

 

Amorosino made his Test debut against England in the summer of 2009 ahead of joining Leicester after a trial period.

 

He made an instant impression with the Tigers, scoring four tries in his first six matches, including two in the opening two rounds of the European Cup.

 

After playing for Argentina in the 2011 Rugby World Cup, he linked up with Montpellier, making 34 appearances for them in two seasons before switching to Oyonnax.
