The new shirts look good - family decision.

[Neils]

Neil Foulkes still in the coach line up there.

[Heathen]

We look rusty!

We look rusty!

Very

Also the way we play is no surprise any more.

We look rusty!

Half-time WD40 will be applied, I'm sure.

[Neils]

Brad off Tom W on

[backdoc]

We are playing like it is a pre-season friendly.

The intensity needs to go up quite a lot 2nd half. And the accuracy.

[HDAWG]

Clearly a bit rusty, in particular in attack, but I think Bristol's defence has contributed to that...

[Hymenoptera]

Vellacot poor for me

[Steve from Cov]

Velacott’s service is slow. He should focus on quick delivery to Umaga rather than looking for gaps all the time. The gaps will appear later.

Bristol defence is excellent.

Last 15 mins started to see some bits coming together. Bristol seconds got something to prove but hopefully they will fall off second half . Surely Afoa  should have been carded for no attempt to wrap arms so close to their line,beside deliberate knock ons?

[Neils]

So we get a yellow card for an offside and they have two slap downs without. Hmmm

[Raggs]

Balls! For some reason I was sure it was a 3pm kick off! Will have to watch the first 55 minutes online later.

[Vespula Vulgaris]

This isn't fun to watch.  Foley seems to have taken a real grudge against us at half time.

With knobs on.
