Injury-hit Bristol Bears to send SOS to Nathan Hughes

Pat Lam looks set to bring Nathan Hughes back to Bristol Bears early to ease the injury situation in his backrow.

Bristol lost both their starting flankers to injuries early during the Bears’ 29-38 defeat to Harlequins on Sunday with Steven Luatua dislocating his wrist and Sam Jeffries hurting his knee in the act of scoring.

Former England number eight Hughes has not played for the Bears since January 1 when he started away at Exeter Chiefs and in January he joined derby rivals Bath Rugby on a loan deal.
