Bottom of the table clash with both teams needing a win. Back row looks better with Luatua and DT in it than Thacker!
I'd hope Bristol would win but who knows...

Lot of bodies coming back in for Glaws. That's a big midfield pairing as well. Ackerman returning in the backrow is huge for their carrying capabilities.

Bristol looking very good on paper, interesting to see if they can back it up wear it counts.

Very important game for both sides. Neither quite firing but they've both had their moments. Difficult one to call.

This is bizarrely one sided so far.

Somebody should have told Glaws it was an important game. They're pitiful at the mo.

Glos all at sea for opening 50 minutes but did rally to get a try BP. Things obviously not right with them.

Bristol very good until they made subs too early and lost focus. Genge played well and i thought Randall was very sharp. His passing has improved a lot.

Apparently Thacker is now Bristol's all-time leading try scorer (or maybe just in the pro era)? Pretty decent achievement for a hooker if so, though I can't bring to kind any outstanding Bristol wingers since David Lemi.

I feel like the hooker’s role on mauls has changed that in recent years. Although Thacker has a fair bit more to his game to be fair.

I think Jonny Matthews just equalled Stuart Hogg’s try record for Glasgow which seems insane.

Alan Morley got 383 so assumes it's in the pro-era.
