Bristol Bears chief Pat Lam delivers Sam Jeffries injury update and makes transfer admission

Bristol Bears back row star Sam Jeffries is due to visit a specialist to outline the extent of his hamstring injury with Pat Lam reluctant to bring in any external reinforcements just yet.

Jeffries exited the closing stages of Bears’ 23-8 win over Wasps last Saturday with a hamstring injury which Lam branded “heart-breaking” such has been the 29-year-old’s start to the new season and with England’s November internationals on the horizon.

Speaking on Wednesday ahead of this weekend’s clash against London Irish at Ashton Gate, the Bears director of rugby admits Jeffries requires further scans but there is some hope that it’s not as bad as first considered.
