The Bard Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 48 minutes ago, phantom said: You don't honestly take our statement as gospel do you? It's widely acknowledged around the league that Bristol have massively cocked up Not at all. We have completely messed up of that there is no doubt. Fact this has come out and is impacting our recruitment shows we are not cheating which is what a lot of fans of other clubs think. We'd be cheating if kept quiet and engineered an alternative way of paying those we want to get rid of. If Jake Armstrong retires from Rugby to be the kit man, I would be suspicious put it that way. I can remember speaking to this ape of a Wasps fan who couldn't get in his head that for a Charles Piatau, Steven Luatua or Nathan Hughes on good money there was a Piers O Connor, Fitz Harding or Henry Purdy on a fraction of that who were also playing in the team. That was Bristol's initial strategy. Get high earners in to guide the younger ones before they leave to allow the likes of Joyce etc to push on with an academy that is starting to produce players. Pity now is we've probably had to lose some good older players earlier than we hoped and may lose a couple of really promising players whilst 5 or 6 we don't want hang around holding tackle bags for a season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When the river runs Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 BT sport now rugby stories all about Bristol bears. Rugby stories has been good so far featuring a few other strong clubs over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Fair play to Connaught, giving Leinster a hell of a game in Galway tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connacht gave them a much harder time than we did last week. JGP was really lucky to only get a yellow too so could have been different. Bristol's Chay Mullins now tearing it up for Ireland 7s after winning the Grand Slam with the U20s. Wouldn't be surprised to see him move to one of the provinces soon if he has Ireland ambitions.

Northern Red Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Not long back. It wasn't for the want of trying, but there was a serious lack of quality on display from players who are capable of better. The one bit of magic led to the only try.

elhombrecito Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Only watched the first half, as had to head off to AG (which went well ), not a great game, but an excellent result. I would have been happy with a narrow loss, so to actually win is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it was the first try Semi has scored this year. I’m going to travel back from Stoke on Friday and hopefully see some of the return match. Hoping I don’t get a day of total disappointment! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not! I recall the Sale home league game back in January when we beat them comfortably- hopefully a similar result on Friday! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Almost certainly R92 who are 22-9 up with their home tie to come. Think that would be a step too far for Bristol but you never know.

I suppose one becomes blasé after so many years of seeing the same buildings, but La Défense has never really done much for me, just a collection of skyscrapers. La Grande Arche is certainly impressive, and the sightline from the roof (L'Axe Historique) equally so, but apart from a reasonable lunch (I prefer the lunch in the Eiffel Tower), it has never impressed me.
