Bristol Bears’ injured superstars are set to return in phases over the next three months but British and Irish Lion Kyle Sinckler and former All Black Charles Piutau are fit to start the new Premiership season, Pat Lam has confirmed today.
Tighthead prop Sinkler has recovered from the back niggles that have plagued him since the 2022 Six Nations after being left at home from England’s summer tour to Australia to recuperate.
Explosive full-back Piutau, who switched international allegiances this summer to play for Tonga, is also on track to be available to face Bath on September 9 for the Premiership curtain raiser at Ashton Gate.
