Bristol Bears have suffered a hammer blog of an injury with ‘le petit general’ Harry Randall ruled out until the New Year with a hamstring injury.
This season Randall looked to be returning to the type of form that saw him work his way into England head coach Eddie Jones’ plans in recent years, earning six caps, but he is now set for three to four months on the sidelines having had surgery on his injured muscle which was partially torn off the bone.
Bristol director of rugby Pat Lam said: "We have unfortunately lost Harry Randall. He had surgery yesterday on a hamstring tear he got tackling against Exeter, I think it was on Jack Nowell. He got caught in an awkward position.
