An incredible will to win and never say die attitude. Kind of? He got it stopping a certain try, which was then given as a penalty try anyway, so it would have been a five point game yellow card or no yellow card. Clearly did not help them right at the death. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) I wonder if Pearson can instil such dogged determination in City's squad. Many of us jokingly say that City can snatch defeat from the jaws of victorty. Well Bristol Bears are doing it regularly the other way round, whoever is in the team, however many injuries there are and even when the referee appears to be an additional member of the opponents.

Super Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Amazing win considering we were outplayed nearly all of 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A never give up attitude comes from winning games. Had the Bears been on a losing run they’d have also the game today. Pat Lam is a formidable guy and has instilled determination and resilience into the squad - let’s hope Big Nige can do the same with our squad. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midred Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 A great 12 point lead now - effectively two bonus point games ahead of Exeter and three games ahead of Sale and Harlequins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 This isn't the Bears' day but between the ref and the tmo this match is a ****up! They can identify which blade of grass for a kick but miss out on forward passes and knock ons! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Combination of a lack of accuracy against a very good side and appalling refereeing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRed Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Pat Lam clearly frustrated, multiple angles made available by French TV to aid the TMO for the disallowed Purdy try but for the pivotal deliberate knock on decision only 2 angles given to TMO despite multiple cameras at the game. Lan, all the coaches, and all the players unanimous it was the wrong call. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 https://www.bristolbearsrugby.com/news/bears-announce-202122-season-card-pricing/ Not bad for one of the best club sides in the northern hemisphere eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club and Country Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 That pricing is superb, I don’t know if Bath have announced there’s yet but they must be losing so many casual rugby supporters (such as myself) to the bears currently Baths prices are horrendous for anyone who didn’t know!
