Perry to fine tune kicking game

Perry underwent shoulder surgery in the summer

Bristol scrum-half Shaun Perry acknowledged he needs to work on his kicking game after making his comeback in the 14-13 win over Northampton.

The 30-year-old impressed as a replacement in his first appearance of the season on Sunday.

Perry told BBC Radio Bristol: "I wasn't happy with a few of the kicks I put in. They were poor options and the wrong execution but it will come back.

"I put a few out on the full but I'll work on that with Richard Hill."

He added: "Hopefully next weekend if I do get an opportunity I'll put it right."

Bristol head coach Richard Hill was full of praise for the England international on his return: "He's got that ability to make breaks and can threaten round the fringes.

"He's a big, powerful character. The aura he exudes lifted everyone else."
