Bristol Again

In the backs Piers O’Conor, Pat Tapley, Ollie Dodge and Henry Taylorall return while Alex Lundberg, Biyi Alo, Mark Flanagan, Nick Fenton-Wells and Paul Tupai start up front.

 

Bristol may be distracted by the row over coach Steve Borthwick accepting an England job and complacent by their 52-8 victory over us last week.

Let's hope for both ...
