Cardiff Blues are set to to bring another Argentine international to the Arms Park in the shape of utility back Joaquín Tuculet.

Having signed winger Lucas Amorosino in September, the Blues are now on the verge of further strengthening their back division by recruiting fellow Puma Tuculet.

The ultra versatile 25-year-old - who has had spells with Sale, Grenoble and Bordeaux Begles - is capable of playing at centre, full-back, wing and fly-half, although he is primarily being signed as a centre.

He has won 19 caps for Argentina, scoring six tries, and has started at full-back in both matches on their current European tour, against Scotland and Italy.

He played his part in a 20-18 win over the Azzurri in Genoa on Friday when Amorosini crossed for a try from the right wing.

Born in La Plata, the 6ft, 14st 7lbs Tuculet will add some international class to the Blues midfield when he comes on board next month.
