Bristol battle back to earn a bonus-point win against Gloucester in a captivating West Country derby at Kingsholm.
In-form Bristol battled back to earn a bonus-point win against Gloucester in a captivating derby at Kingsholm.
Bristol's fourth league victory in a row takes them up a place to sixth in the Premiership table and keeps them well in the hunt for a top-four finish. But Bristol responded in style, prompted by a stunning sidestep, surprising turn of pace and score by Oghre. AJ MacGinty added his second kick but failed to add the extras after Bradbury went over in the corner.
The Cherry and Whites stood firm for 30 minutes in the face of strong pressure until Bradbury's simple score levelled matters. "We are disappointed with how we defended. There's no getting away from that. We sat off Bristol and paid them too much respect and gave them too much space. If you give a team like Bristol space, they throw the ball around and they find gaps.Bristol head coach Pat Lam told BBC Radio Bristol:"I said to the boys at half-time, 'we have given them tries but keep going, be fearless, don't be worried about making mistakes'. Rugby is not perfect, it is about how you react.
