Surprised to see Rubiolo start, not sure how we worked that out. I now expect Bristol to win and then be done for an ineligible player...

Benson gets a start at 10. Nice one.

A BP win will secure a top 4 finish for Bristol so they'll be going flat out.

[Scrumhead]

Yeah. Looking at the teams Bath and Saints are fielding, Bristol and Sale need to make sure they win because Saracens and Gloucester will surely pick up 5pts each.

Benson getting a start is good news. I just hope we can keep it respectable.

[Captainhaircut]

I feel like I say it every week- how can Dombrandt be so big yet so lightweight. Incredible if he tours this summer.

Bristol finish in the top 4 and i reckon thats fair reward for the enterprising and attractive rugby they've produced.

Some of their continuity and ball handling is out of the top drawer.
