Not entirely fair on a player nearing the end of his career, but then I suppose he is contracted to Bristol so it's their shout as to what they do with him. Sounds a bit similar to Richie Foran playing GAA Football while contracted to Motherwell a few years back.(Bristol Chief Executive David) White told BBC Sport: "If he does play he'll be breaking his contract and will have to face the consequences.
"Premier Rugby have made their decision and we are supporting that.
"We have not released him, he can't play and we have the jurisdiction to fine him."
