Scotland international hooker agrees Bristol loan deal
By Ian Cameron
One cap Scotland international Jake Kerr has agreed a short-term deal with Bristol Bears with "immediate effect".
The Test hooker initially linked up with the squad on a trial basis, having been released by Steve Borthwick's Leicester Tigers mid-season.
The 6'1, 106kg hooker has now committed until the end of the 2020/21 season. Kerr, who's 25-year-old, earned a 2019 Test cap in the Six Nations win over Italy.
“Jake has impressed us since he arrived at the Bears High Performance Centre on a trial basis in April," said Bristol Bears Director of Rugby Pat Lam. “With Harry Thacker getting closer, but not ready for first team rugby just yet, we needed to bolster our depth in the hooker position ahead of the crucial run-in.
“Jake has settled in well, made a positive impact and he will be available for selection with immediate effect.”

Stand for something or you'll fall for anything. The fans were quite within their rights to walk out early.
Go to commentsDid Gatland give these ratings? Way too high. A full back who can't tackle should be 3 at most. A replacement hooker who can't throw in should be even less. Tom Rodgers got turned over on several restarts. Adam Beard looked good until his injury and Wales fell apart after he went. So how did he and his replacement score the same? Given these scores, you would think that Wales had won!
