St. Bonaventure

Andrew “Tui” Osborne, who coached Life University to two national championships in men’s rugby, has joined the St. Bonaventure men’s rugby team as head coach.

Originally from Fiji, Osborne played for the USA Eagles men’s national team from 2006 to 2008. He left Life University in September, 2015 to move to Buffalo so he and his wife and young daughter could be closer to family.

“I’m excited about the opportunity with St. Bonaventure and the commitment the university is making toward the rugby program,” Osborne said. “I look forward to mentoring and educating these young men through rugby as we continue to develop and improve the sport in this country.”

Osborne coached at Life University from 2009-2015, winning men’s collegiate championships in both 15s (2014) and Sevens (2011).
