Bristol Rugby set to sign New Zealand scrum-half Alby Mathewson

Former All Blacks scrum-half Alby Mathewson is set to link up with Bristol shortly after signing for the Premiership club.

Mathewson won four caps for New Zealand in 2010, including making his only Test start in a win against England at Twickenham.

Bristol, who lost 32-26 at Northampton on Saturday, face Bath in the European Challenge Cup at Ashton Gate on Friday evening.
