Pat Lam is excited about the competition in the back five of Bristol Bears’ scrum this weekend with Newcastle Falcons coming to Ashton Gate on Friday night as the Gallagher Premiership resumes.
The Bristol director of rugby confirmed Sam Jeffries, who can play both on the flank and at lock, and second row Joe Joyce are back in selection contention having recovered from injury.
Jeffries suffered a hamstring injury in just the second game of the season which required surgery, while Joyce has been struggling with a tight Achillies.
