Robinson returns as Bristol head for Emerald Isle
Lee Robinson returns
Bristol head to Ireland tomorrow for their second fixture of the new British & Irish Cup. The West Country side won their first match of the competition against Neath last Friday, with a young side outscoring the Welsh outfit two tries to one.
In the backs, Lee Robinson makes his return from injury for Bristol after suffering a broken nose in a training session back in October. Try scorer Sam Alford starts at scrum-half while Jack Tovey, Luke Eves, George Watkins and Chris Ashwin remain unchanged from last week.
Sam Giddens and Ben Glynn make their first starts for Bristol Rugby, with Nathan Budgett set to captain the side.
