Credit to them for coming from behind, how poor Gloucester look though. Im still confident we'll end up in the top 4, looking at the fixtures of the sides around us, ours are comfortably the easiest on paper. Obviously on the pitch anything can happen, but I think a European trophy and top 4 finish is likely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they topped the league in 19/20 Theyre a good side yeh, the likes of Cordero (ex Exeter, rapid feet) and Ben lam (pats nephew) will frighten any team. They have two excellent props in Poirot (French international) and Ben Tameifuna (who weighs 23 stone!!). Jailbert at fly half is another one to look out for, only 21 and already a French international, was in their 6 nations squad as well. Last season they relied a lot on Semi Radradra though, who's obviously now with us, so will be interesting to see Lam (his replacement) and how he shapes up, although from what I've seen of him at the hurricanes and with the AB's he looks class. Should be a great game, our only hope is that bordeaux, being French and therefore poor travellers, won't turn up in the same way they would at home. A performance like last Friday will be enough to see them off 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Bristol can be fun to watch but they're shooting themselves in the foot here. Unless they land a few Hail Mary plays it's hard to see how they win this without a drastic change in approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 There we go. All from an idiotic Bordeaux penalty. Second half will be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Entertaining game so far and a big second half coming up! That Bristol try was beautiful, the way they shifted from one side of the pitch to the other and then back again! Had Bordeaux on toast.

RedRock Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Bordeaux are impressive. Looks like they’ve got an extra couple of men! Critical try that at the end of the half for us though. All down to fitness. Can Bordeaux maintain that high energy? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, all about holding our nerve and keeping belief the our game plan. Bordeaux aren’t foolish though and will know that. Certainly they are the ones that look like they always have a spare man or two and keeping us at bay. Hard game, but it is a semi final.

cityexile Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Well played Bristol. Fitness in the end, and a 17 point margin feels harsh on Bordeaux in a quality game that was tense as heck through normal time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
