O’Riordan switches from Leinster to Bristol

BRISTOL have increased their scrum-half options by signing Brian O’Riordan from Leinster.

O’Riordan, 25, is a powerfully-built number nine who has represented Ireland A and is a former IrelandU-21 cap.

His arrival follows that of former Wales wing Craig Morgan, who has left Cardiff Blues for the West Country.
