KEY POINTS:
British rugby club the Ospreys are trying to tempt Waikato and Chiefs flanker Marty Holah to join them after this year's World Cup.
Holah, 30, and capped 36 times by the All Blacks, made his last test appearance in the 34-23 win over Ireland in June last year.
He co-captained the Junior All Blacks to a second successive clean sweep in the Pacific Nations Cup last month.
The Ospreys failed to lure his teammate Jono Gibbes last season.
But their move for Holah underlines their ambition to become one of Europe's top teams, BBC Sport said on its website.
