As a result of the reduced salary cap, it looks like Bristol Bears are about to lose a number of current stars if reports are to be believed.
#1. Antoine Frisch
At least four foreign clubs are chasing the signature of the Bristol Bears centre according to the latest reports. The Rugby Paper has reported that both Stade Francais, where he played as a youngster, and Montpellier are interested in bringing him to the French Top 14 next season. Meanwhile, there is also reported interest from two unnamed Irish provinces
#2. Dave Attwood
The former England lock is messaging director of rugby Pat Lam every day to discuss a new contract for next season he has revealed. Attwood believes quite understandably he is still in the physical condition to offer something unique to Bristol Bears squad, despite celebrating his 35th birthday next month. However, for now he's set to be a free agent.
