Bristol bring in 3 players on short-term deals, including ex-Ireland international Adeolokun
By Online Editors
Second place Bristol have reacted to their Gallagher Premiership defeat on Tuesday night by a 'second-string' Exeter team by bringing into a trio of players - including one-time Ireland international Niyi Adeolokun - as injury cover to bolster their chances of somehow reeling the Chiefs back in at the top of the table.
Exeter, who fielded a team showing 14 changes at Ashton Gate following their win at Sale, are now eleven points clear with six rounds of regular season fixtures remaining in the restarted 2019/20 campaign.
But the Bears will hope their latest reinforcements will help them get through the upcoming weeks without being left short in any position. Injuries to Jake Armstrong (ankle), Max Lahiff (head) and John Afoa (calf) had lightened their front row resources while wing Toby Fricker (groin) is also unavailable.
That casualty list left Pat Lam on the lookout for short-term cover and of the three players brought in, one is already very familiar to the coach as Adeolokun was part of the Connacht team that won the Guinness PRO12 with Lam at the helm prior to his 2017 move to England.
Adeolokun, who went on to be capped by Ireland on Lam's watch and also play for the Barbarians when the Samoan was in charge, was released by Connacht during the recent lockdown but he now has an opportunity to put himself in the Premiership show window with his short-term deal as Fricker's cover until the end of the 2019/20 season.
In the pack, Lam has recruited Peter McCabe, the former Connacht prop who joined the Irish province from Munster after the coach had left for Bristol, while Cardiff Blues prop Keiron Assiratti has signed on loan with immediate effect.
Bristol have little time to reflect on their late loss to Exeter as they are due to Sale this Saturday before visiting Worcester on September 4.

Unfortunately, Ulster taking on Leinster players has not proven to be a formula for success. Once they've been rejected by Leinster, there doesn't appear to be much chance of representing Ireland.
From my perspective, there are no easy fixes. The other provinces are battling a continuous decline, one which the IRFU aren't really fussed about as long as their boys in blue are succeeding.
And out of interest, how many players were developed through Connacht? Was Henshaw the only Connacht raised player who actually played in the 6 nations this year?
Go to commentsScammed and Saved: GrayHat Hacks Turned My Crypt0 Nightmare Around
It all started with a dream and a single email. I’d been saving Bitc0in for years, hoping to buy my first home. On a rainy Tuesday, I received what looked like an urgent message from my wallet provider, asking me to verify my account details. The email was polished, the logo perfect, and the urgency felt real. Without thinking twice, I clicked the link and entered my credentials. It wasn’t until hours later, when I checked my wallet and saw a balance of zero, that the horror sank in. My 2.5 BTC, worth over $150,000, was gone. The scammer had drained it through a series of rapid transactions, scattering it across the blockchain like digital dust in the wind.
I was devastated. My dream of homeownership vanished in a click, and I felt like a fool. Days blurred into a haze of panic and regret until I stumbled upon GrayHat Hacks online. Their testimonials spoke of miracles, st0len crypt0 recovered, lives restored. Desperate, I reached ou to them. They explained that while Bitc0in’s blockchain is public, tracing st0len funds is like finding a needle in a haystack. But they had the tools: proprietary software that could analyze transaction patterns, identify wallet clusters, and potentially link the scammer’s address to an exchange where the funds might be frozen.
GrayHat Hacks dove into the blockchain, following the trail of my st0len Bitc0in as it hopped from wallet to wallet. They used advanced clustering algorithms to group addresses likely controlled by the same entity, narrowing down the scammer’s footprint. Then came the breakthrough: one of the wallets was tied to a known exchange. It was a tense few hours, but I eventually received the email I’d been praying for, my Bitc0in was recovered.
GrayHat Hacks expertise turned what felt like an impossible loss into a second chance. They even took the time to teach me how to spot phishing scams, ensuring I’d never fall victim again. If you’re reading this, heart pounding after a crypt0 nightmare, know that GrayHat Hacks is the real deal. They’re not just technicians; they’re lifesavers, blending cutting-edge blockchain analysis with a human touch. My dream of a home is back on track, and I owe it all to them.
