PICHOT LINKS UP WITH HONIBALL

ENGLISH club Bristol have signed Argentine scrumhalf Agustin Pichot on a two-year contract. The 24-year-old Pichot, capped 21 times, will link up with South African flyhalf Henry Honiball at the south-west club. “Agustin is the complete scrumhalf,” Bristol’s Australian director of rugby Bob Dwyer said on Wednesday. “He can run and he can tackle but the most important thing he can give our team is to make space for big runners to go through and hurt defences.”
