HONIBALL READY TO ROLL

SOUTH African fly-half Henry Honiball will make his debut for Bristol in Saturday’s Premiership match at Sale, the club said on Wednesday. The veteran number 10, who retired from international rugby after the Springboks’ World Cup third-place triumph over the All Blacks last Thursday, will form a half-back pairing with Argentinian scrum-half Agustin Pichot. They will hope to end Bristol’s run of three successive defeats.
