Pat Lam has revealed Bristol Bears will have a completely revamped pre-season ahead of the 2022/23 campaign after admitting mistakes were made this season.
After a highly disappointing season, going from finishing top of the table in 2020/21 to 10th in 2021/22, Bristol’s director of rugby accepts that his side came into the current Premiership season undercooked.
Having gone through a club-wide review in recent weeks, Lam confirmed the Bears will play three competitive, public, pre-season games in the summer, facing Top 14 side Brive in France first before back-to-back Friday night games away at United Rugby Championship sides the Dragons followed by the Scarlets.
