Bristol inch closer to signing of former age-grade star
By Alex Shaw
Bristol have already made a splash with their recruitment this season, luring the likes of Charles Piutau, John Afoa and Harry Thacker to Ashton Gate, but it looks as if they’re not quite done just yet.
RugbyPass understands that Bristol, who secured their promotion back to the Aviva Premiership at the weekend, are also close to announcing the arrival of Gloucester scrum-half Harry Randall.
Randall was a part of the England U20 side that lifted the World Rugby U20 Championship in 2016 and has been touted as a star of the future by many, with his searing turn of pace and excellent game understanding helping to significantly negate his smaller frame.
Although born in England and having represented the nation of his birth at U18 and U20 levels, Randall is also eligible for Wales, having moved there as a young child and spent much of his rugby education at Llandovery College, but a move to Bristol would signify, at least for the short-term, he sees his future with England.
He has spent most of this season on dual-registration with Hartpury in the Championship, but unfortunately a knee injury suffered back in November has derailed what could well have been a breakout season for the former age-grade star.
A move to Bristol does seem appealing for Randall, who would find himself in a competition with Nic Stirzaker and academy products Andy Uren and Reiss Cullen for playing time, as opposed to the more established hierarchy at Kingsholm of Willi Heinz, Ben Vellacott and Callum Braley.
The biggest question over Randall has been his size, but if Pat Lam is looking for someone to spell Stirzaker and provide impact from the bench, as Bristol look to consolidate their Premiership place next season, they could do a lot worse than this electric nine.

Sharks players not accurate but a far bigger problem is the useless coaching set up. Tactically so naive. Running the ball from all quarters against a rush defence in humid conditions is just dumb. Simon Zebo said yesterday that if Rassie Erasmus coached the Sharks they would be the best team in Europe. They have a huge talent pool but terrible coaches.
Leinster were quite brilliant - especially on defence. They remind me very much of the 2019 Boks - kick, chase, defend like demons, force opponents into mistakes and strike off turnover ball. Will be intriguing to see how they go the rest of the season, especially against the French giants in the Champions Cup. They have the best defence in Europe but has that come at the expense of a cutting edge on attack? Having a Nienaber-esque defensive mindset against Toulouse and Bordeaux Begles won’t work.
