Tom Whiteley and Theo Strang are set for a prolonged run at scrum-half for Bristol Bears during the Six Nations after Pat Lam confirmed Andy Uren has suffered a hamstring injury.
Uren strained his muscle in the act of scoring the first try in Bristol’s 37-21 victory over Newcastle Falcons, leaving Bears director of rugby Lam short of options at number nine with Harry Randall away with England.
Randall was an unused replacement for England in their Calcutta Cup defeat to Scotland on Saturday, with Ben Youngs playing the entire game at Murrayfield.
