Six odd ex glos players in that bears team, LRZ against Purdy could be interesting.

I’d like to poach a few of the Bristol medical staff, Bristol been talking up their injuries all week through various channels and we see miraculous recoveries from Hughes, Luatua, Afoa, and O'Conor.

We're short a few ourselves - Unavailable: Yann Thomas (achilles), James Lay (leg), Max Lahiff (shoulder), Adrian Choat (ankle), Siale Piutau (knee), Jack Bates (hamstring), Luke Daniels (shoulder), Will Hurrell (head), Charles Piutau (knee), Charlie Powell (ankle).

But the medical team are doing a good job keeping the key players fit at the moment. The two benches show the difference in squad strength. Hopefully close, but Bristol really could do with a win to get some momentum again.

[Mellsblue]

I do love watching Bristol play.

[Mellsblue]

What. A. Try. Coast to coast, to coast, to coast.

[jimKRFC]

How are you watching Mells? At the park with the kids so missing it.

Shedweb is a good read at the mo, although there's still time for it to go all wrong.

[Mellsblue]

BT Sport.

[Mellsblue]

Another great try. Bristol are very good/clever at creating space out wide.

[Gloskarlos]

Well, Glos offered nothing and looked tired. Can’t argue with the score, but our worst performance of the season by a margin. Desperately need a couple of weeks off.

[fivepointer]

Yep, Glos looked a bit flat. Bris upped the tempo after h/t and were impressive winners.
