Bristol Form

Bristol are have another strong season, currently second with six wins in nine league games. They are five points off Bath at the top of the pile.

Recent form, however, will be concerning for the Bears. They have lost four of their last five games in all competitions, including a 38-0 home loss last weekend.

Their only win came the week before, beating Leicester away but the Bears lost both Champions Cup games against Leinster at home and La Rochelle away.
