David Rees has now made 50 league appearances for Bristol and will soon be joined by a couple of others in Alex Brown and Lee Best - assuming that they play vs Newcastle on Sunday.

The away game at Sale last week was David Rees' 50th league appearance for Bristol (49 starts and 1 replacement appearance). It makes that frustrating first season when Reesy was sidelined for so long with injury seem an awfully long time ago.

In that time he has scored 11 tries for a total of 55 points which puts him in joint 9th place equal with Jamie Mayer.

Both Alex Brown and Lee Best have made 49 league appearances to date. So, if selected on Sunday, they will both hit the 50 appearance mark.

Lee has made 43 starts with 6 replacement appearances scoring 10 tries and 1 conversion for a total of 52 points.

Alex has made 45 starts with 4 replacement appearances and scored just the one try for a toatl of 5 points.
