Bristol have posted their full squad for next season.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

The amount of £ tied up with Genge, Sinkler and MacGinty must be fairly significant.

Plus their contract issues where players got accidentally extended may have been behind Afoa for example leaving. Certainly their scrum can be targeted in international periods.

Found some real form as a 15. Hogg is obviously the Scottish incumbent, but being able to cover centre and fullback won’t harm his chances of a test recall

Did he?! He was woefully caught out of position a lot and defensively he was shocking. Good going forward though

Yes a couple at least,he was especially dreadful in the Montpellier match. Made the comment at the time that it was similar to Henshaw v England when he got put at FB. Way out of his depth. Listen ,Jones is a fantastic centre but a FB he isn’t, it’s not a position you learn overnight. Every time I’ve seen him there he’s been caught out .

Everytime they were on the telly and as far as I recall he won at least one motm award and scored some damn good tries, in a position he wasn’t familiar with. I have a BT subscription which other posters don’t have so I was able to see a lot of him. How about you did you see much of him or do you spend more time trolling

So twice then fair enough from what you’re saying you are basing your opinion on possibly only 1 game. Fair enough I saw him play more than that and he improved each game. But fair enough you and your new best mate Jimmy will probably disagree

At least! He’s only started there 4/5 times,the vast majority of games hes started in MF or he’s covered the back line off the bench!

Just for reference,all games can be found elsewhere if you can not see them live. YouTube,Premiership website etc. Just thought I would give people the heads up 👍
