Kevin "T-Bone" Tkachuk joined up with Glasgow in 2004 after completing his studies at Oxford University.

He has played for Oxford in the varsity matches from 2001 to 2003, and scored a try for them against Australia.

The Canadian international prop joined Glasgow from PerTemps Bees and made a big impact in his first season at Hughenden.

He captained Canada five times in 2004 and 2005 and made his debut for the Barbarians in May 2006 in the Murrayfield match against Scotland.

Only a few days before that match he was named Glasgow Warriors’ Player of the Year at the Scottish Rugby Awards Dinner.

Later that year he returned to Canada’s team for the 56-7 win against USA in the World Cup qualifying match in St John’s, Newfoundland.

His first try for Glasgow was in the Celtic League victory against Ulster at Hughenden in October 2004, and he scored a second in the home win against Connacht two months later.

He has also played for Campion Grads, Prairie Fire (Saskatchewan’s Rugby Canada Super League team), the Capilano and Castaway Wanderers clubs in British Columbia, and Henley Hawks in England.

Former wrestler, gridiron player and speed skater, Kevin is noted for his strength, mobility and committment.

    I have heard from reliable sources that Kev didn't do a great deal of work while he was Oxford. He did go for long walks with girls in the Parks though.

    Bravo Kev.
    Glad to see you have done so well since our days playing Saskatchewan Junior Rugby and the time you, Noah and I spent in North Van.
    Hard work does pay off.
