Bristol Rugby reveal all 9 signings as Lam bulks up pack
By Ian Cameron
Bristol Rugby revealed nine new signing as part of a bumper 'Signed Up Saturday' reveal - but Wasps flanker James Haskell was not one of them.
Many had speculated that the club would announce Haskell as one of the nine, but fans will have to wait to find out whether not the England backrow will indeed join the club.
Fans however have a raft of new players to evaluate, with a split of seven to two in favour of forwards suggesting Pat Lam is keen to significantly strengthen his pack.
The list of 9 does not include a host of players who have already been officially announced, including the man touted as rugby's highest paid player - Charles Piutau.

The first to be officially unveiled is former All Blacks prop John Afoa.

Guzzy would have been more suitable and prob coached a system a lot closer to Jones than El Abd is doing Ed.
Go to commentsJohn, McKenzie was 10 years ago and he only lasted 15 months until the disgustingly unfair affair that brought him down. I thought that if he didn't get another gig over Eddie V2 then he was done. I read that he had been approached but declined to put his name in the ring.
There are no potential Wallaby coaches outside of McKellar unless you have some inside info?
