MichaelRobartes Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Bristol might need a new scrum half for next season with Rhodri Williams off to the Dragons. I see that Jordan Williams and Ryan Bevington are also being reported as new signings for the Dragons by the BBC but I haven't seen that the departure of the latter two has been confirmed by Bristol. Simon Thomas of Wales Online who is a reliable source is reporting that only Rhodri Williams has signed at this stage: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/41872454 Not surprising that the WRU are looking to get exiles home to bolster the Dragons, less so that Rhodri Williams is one given Rhys Webb's imminent unavailability for Wales at the end of the season. They'll want to give other guys the chance to put a case forward for selection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Free ticket for city season ticket holders for Saturdays game v Rotherham, over 7k sold already so should be a good crowd. I'm not too bothered about losing Rhodri, Bevington and Jordan Williams tbf, 3 decent players but 3 players who wouldn't be 1st choice next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Game yesterday was an absolute cakewalk. Some really nice play but Rotherham missed so many tackles and looked 3rd rate. Entertaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul G Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Good win at Leeds tonight. Although not as much of a threat as they used to be, not many will get a bonus point win there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 They hadn't lost all season at home so that was a big big win. Ealing go to Nottingham on Sunday which is live on http://www.championshiprugby.co.uk/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Leedshire has always been a tough place to go, so to dismantle them like that was highly impressive, a couple of wonderful tries as well. What is also refreshing to see/hear is that we have finally got our scrum together, we destroyed Rotherhams last week and we were winning penalties off it this week, great improvement Edited November 18, 2017 by JBFC II 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 My biggest worry is as with their last promotion season Bristol scored a lot but conceded a lot as well and that is all well and good in the championship but will get found out again in the premiership, it is an area that they will need to strengthen and to work on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough defence is probably where we have improved most recently, 3 tries conceded in our last two. If we can cut out these 10 minute periods where we fall asleep then I'll be more happy, with the rumoured signings coming in as well we should have a much stronger scrum for the premiership, very exciting time to be a Bristol fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Jordan Williams confirmed as off to the Dragons as speculated above. The WRU are doing a great job of bolstering the Dragons squad, I think the new 60-cap rules will be really beneficial to the Welsh team: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good crowd too 28-7 at HT Hadn't realised it was on sky, caught the last hour. Bristol need to dramatically improve defensively as they concede too many soft points still. Title is nailed on now with promotion, good to see two more games will be live on TV in the coming weeks (Bedford H, Ealing A - ridiculous 7pm kick off on a Saturday) One thing the officials were poor last night, how they missed the tackle in the first half where the Bristol guy not only tackled someone in the air, but also with no hands.... Maybe influenced by the crowd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 First home game I missed last night so had to watch on the TV, Bristol were decent last night but if they play like that next season in the premiership we'll get torn apart. No premiership team will give us that much ball in hand and although Madigan, Morahan and Leiua were all outstanding there were too many errors which need to be dealt with. The forwards were again much improved but we were still pretty equal at scrum time with the Pirates which we shouldn't be, we need to be getting the upper hand at scrum time if we want to compete in the premiership. Defensively we were excellent at times but again there was that 10 minute spell of falling asleep which we can't have next year. Overall a decent result, the score board doesn't really tell the whole story and a lot to work on for next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Ealing- I know they lost vs us and I know they had an abberation v Nottingham- but they generally do keep on winning though- if we go to Ealing and somehow lose then it would get a bit tight again suddenly... Gap is still 8 points. Promotion by February I think someone predicted on here? Not so sure...

The Bristol backs are levels above anything else in this league and when they are on form no team (including Ealing) will be able to stop us. As long as cortes is in the scrum we'll be comfortable imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep winning and we have a strong contender pushing us reasonably deep into the season, that should stand us in good stead I'd say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
