Lam blasts Fiji for Semi treatment

BRISTOL will submit a formal complaint to World Rugby over an injury Semi Radradra picked up on international duty with Fiji.

The centre suffered a leg injury in the opening minutes of their 38-24 win over Georgia last Saturday but played the whole match.

He is set to miss Bristol’s opening two Champions Cup games. Head coach Pat Lam said the decision to keep him on the pitch “didn’t need to happen”. He added: “We are disappointed. It was an avoidable situation. We will put in a formal complaint.”
