@bathrugby
job done.
Bears win 20-7 against European Champions, Exeter at Sandy Park. What a performance, what a result.
Make no mistake. The best team won.
TOP OF THE LEAGUE. Pride of the Westcountry,
@BristolBears
Well, well, well another big comeback away from home against one of the best teams in the land. Can you imagine what this team could do if it could cut down the unforced errors. BIG WIN. Come on Bris.
It's been a while! Looking forward to welcoming
@BristolBears
back to Llanelli on Saturday.
Make sure you've got your ticket 🐻

What a f🤬ing farce this Sale postponement is. Just say Bristol lose against Irish & don’t pick up a point, will Sale be allowed to call off Wednesday’s game as they will have finished top 4 & wouldn’t need to play. They should play Sunday or forfeit. Rules is rules. Cmon Bris!
We talked about, we discussed at half time and we still let a chiefs side embarrass Pat Lam.
We have world class players being coached in a regimented system that fails more times than wins... There's no getting away from Bristols position in the table....

@BristolBears
scored three tries in the second half to seal a bonus point win.
This is how
@John_Afoa
charged onto the field at half time.
Coincidence?
Such sad news about the demise of
@londonirish
tonight. From all of us on the podcast are thoughts are with the fans, players and staff of this great club. We will miss you 😢
Job done. The Worcester try chalked off for the knock on in the tackle proved to be the point where the game turned for Bristol. Solid, if not spectacular, win for the Bears. Bring on the Saints next week.
A professional performance to take the five-point win 29-17 against Newcastle Falcons. Well played Sinckler and Randall who made a big difference in the second half.
Made up for George Kloska to get Man of the Match and a try on his first Premiership start.
#jobdone
It wasn’t pretty but
@BristolBears
grind out the win 16-12. Looked rusty but some outstanding defence all game. Siale Piutau unwell deserved man of the match. How good is to have him back and fit. Up to second in the league. Come on Bris.
Anyone else feel that tremor through the rugby world this morning? Congratulations to Argentina 🇦🇷 for the first ever win over New Zealand 🇳🇿. Blimey 😮
Match report from Twickenham.
1st half 🏴💩
2nd half 🏴 💩er
Congratulations Scotland 🏴 you deserved that win.
Turning out to be a forgettable 🏉weekend for 🐻/🏴 fans.
Slow start but a very professional 2nd half to win 37-20. Clinical to get that bonus-point try at the very end.
We are starting to pile the pressure on the chasing pack. An eleven point lead, over to you Exeter, Quins and Sale.

NO MESSING! Pat puts out strongest possible squad. Great to see Randall is fit again to take a place on the bench and Malins makes the 23 after barnstorming performance last week. Wow 🤩 this is some team.
WTF Ioan Lloyd at inside centre! We did not see that coming.
Welcome return of the Brynoceros 🦏 at hooker, King Charles back at 15 and The Tank on the Flank is on the bench too.
That’s a filthy bench of spare Bears. Cmon Bris!
Lots of comments about us losing to a 2nd string Exeter side. Lets not forget its one win each in the league & 42-42 points a piece. A Bears team with no Radradra, Sinckler or Earl went down to Sandy Park & beat a full strength Chiefs team after giving them a 17 point head start.
Disappointing to lose 26-28 deep into stoppage time to the unbeaten Leicester Tigers today.
But Bristol fans keep your heads held high and remember, things could be worse.
We could be Bath 🤣
Great to visit Burra today, the new cafe just off Whiteladies Road in Bristol. The brainchild of

Excellent flat white today chaps. Good luck with the venture from all of us on the podcast.
Congratulations to
@WaspsRugby
for a fine performance today winning 47-24. Some questionable refereeing decisions but we were well beaten by the better team on the day. Hope the boys who have picked up knocks will be ok for Friday’s Challenge Cup Final.

A year today we nervously published the 1st edition of Bears Beyond The Gate hoping a few people might find our rugby ramblings mildly interesting. Since then we’ve produced 43 episodes, with tens of thousands of downloads across 49 countries. THANKS for your support T,L,M & P
At last some good news on the injury front, Steven Luatua and Charles Piutau both fit for the Sale game and Semi Radradra back the week after, maybe earlier.
Congratulations to Harlequins and our friends at
@harlequinspod
and
@NevsLeftBoot
To put in back-to-back performances to beat Bristol and Exeter like that to clinch the title is truly outstanding.
We look forward to locking horns with you again next season. 🍻
I think this is worth some three word reviews... I'll start👇
Forgettable first 70...
Replacement front row...
Marmion decision making...
Lahiff a legend
Bristol Bears new recruit, Ratu Naulago, described by Hull Live as one of Hull FC’s deadliest finishers in the modern era, with 15 tries in 23 games this season.
Can’t wait to see home in a Bristol shirt next term.
So we take 2 points away from Kingsholm. Basics let us down in the end but a better performance by
@BristolBears
. Thank you to all the Gloucester friends in the shed for the banter and good humour.
That’s an impressive 🤩
@BristolBears
lineup for the trip to Exeter. Lots of ‘grunt’ up front and a backline so tasty it should be awarded three Michelin stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️.
The Chiefs have recalled many of their internationals after last week’s defeat. BRING IT ON

Brilliant! Hats 🎩 off to the
