Bristol Bears’ historic 23-8 away win over Wasps Rugby on Saturday was soured by a last minute injury to the club’s brightest star in the game, Sam Jeffries.
Flanker Jeffries had one of his best games for the club, making a team-high 24 tackles and the most metres in attack from the forwards before calamity struck and he injured his hamstring in the 79th minute.
The injury to Jeffries is compounded by the fact flanker Sam Lewis was also in a space boot post match having roled his ankle after coming on as a replacement in the game, with Steven Luatua (calf), Dan Thomas (ankle) and Fitz Harding (unknown) also currently sidelined.
