Leinster hooker Bryan Byrne has joined Bristol on a permanent basis, having initially linked up with the club on a short-term loan deal prior to rugby going into lockdown. Lam has turned around the fortunes of the big-spending Bristol, who are a club going places in a hurry. “I thoroughly enjoyed my short spell at Bristol, and I’m delighted to be joining the club on a permanent basis,” Byrne said. “Bryan made a very positive impression during his short time with us earlier in the season, and we’re delighted to have signed him on a permanent basis,” Lam maintained. To play nearly 50 times for a club like Leinster is a huge achievement and shows his pedigree.
