- Key players available for only three of first 14 club games
- Quins v Leicester to kick-off season on 20 November
The new Premiership season will start on 20 November when Exeter visit Harlequins but England players are unlikely to feature in more than three of the first 14 rounds because of the autumn internationals and Six Nations.
That prospect does not concern Bristol’s director of rugby, Pat Lam, who wants more of his players to join Kyle Sinckler in the England squad, but it will mean a test of resources at a time when a lack of income is testing budgets.
