Bristol boss faced interview with Pat Lam’s wife

The news has naturally come as a hammer blow to the Irish province as their head coach has opted to takeover a side rock bottom of the Aviva Premiership and without a win all season. Bristol’s chairman, Chris Booy, understands the disappointment in Ireland over Lam’s departure but insists this was not a decision which the Connacht coach has taken lightly.
“The process has been a two-way street. We had a number of applicants for this job, but we identified him very early as a man who fits our profile,” said Booy.
