Show Notes

In this episode we discuss Bristol's dominant performance to beat Exeter Chiefs 20-7 at Sandy Park. The win against the reigning English and European Champions sees Bristol Bears go four points clear at the top of the Gallagher Premiership. We talk double yellow cards, dodgy groundings and a certain comment picked up on the TV. All this plus the player performances on a memorable day for Bristol fans.

We also look ahead to next week's scheduled game against Connacht at Ashton Gate. We once again talk to the boys from the Craggy Podcast to get the Irish view of the first game and their expectations for the return leg in Bristol.

However, as we record this episode there is a big question mark  over the remaining games in European competitions as it looks likely that French teams won't play in the next two rounds due to COVID-19 concerns. If the games are called off, we give our thoughts on what should happen.

All this and more on this show with Lee, Miles, Pete and Tony
