I agree about having sealed Bristol's fate. I've been rooting for them since they signed TV2, more so since they got Siale and secured Alapti for next season too.
I thought we started a little to arrogantly. We handed them the first try by trying silly things that were unlikely to come off and I think that osrt of thing would be our undoing against a better team. Me managed to settle down a little and play through the phases after that. It was nice to see a variety of different sorts of try being scored. But I still felt we were trying too hard. Extra long miss-passes and so on to try and force the score when the opprtunities just arrive by themselves when we keep playing the ball, passing it down the line and applying the pressure.
I can fully see why Dai started emptying the bench early once the game was away, but to be honest I wonder if we'd been better served by keeping the team on and showing a bit of ruthlessness. As it was Cips and Robson seemed to add very little and I wish we'd stuck with Simmo and Gopps. Alapati on the other hand showed some form again, I think he'd going to be a big loss
But 5 points secured all the same. On to the next game now!
