Finished watching the second half and after the break the Bears weren't really in the game attack wise. To be fair they didn't need to as they were in control.
Tigers were pretty insipid. Shillcock added some much needed invention at 10, Whiteley sped the pedestrian ball up and Hatherall was physical. To little to late though.
Shillcock has to start instead of Brown for next weekend. Brown was largely a passenger and we need some more innovation in the backline. Rogerson and Cracknell will be lucky to retain their spots, we desperately needed an openside capable of linking the play and Cracknell wasn't that. Hopefully Liebenburg, Ilione and Hatherall for the Sale game with Reffell returning shortly after. Certainly isn't going to get easier with Sale coming to town.
Bristol Vs Tigers
