Byrne 3 Pen: Byrne; Tries: Alemanno, Blake, Edwards-Giraud, Joseph, Venter

Bristol (21) 49

In a high-scoring Prem thriller at Kingsholm, Bristol Bears needed seven tries to defeat Gloucester.

The visitors took a 21-20 half-time lead thanks to scores from Fitz Harding, Gabriel Oghre, and Sam Worsley.

Before Viliame Mata’s try and two scores in the closing seconds for winger Kalaveti Ravouvou, who had an early lead, Oghre’s second extended the lead after the break.

With first-half tries from Matias Alemanno, Seb Blake, and Josiah Edwards-Giraud, Gloucester put a lot of pressure on Bristol, but tries from Will Joseph and James Venter after half-time were insufficient to give the winless hosts a bonus point.

Innard, McArthur, Gotovtsev, Jordan, Mann, Taylor, Austin, and Edwards-Giraud are the replacements.

Bristol: Elizalde, Pepper, Moroni, Janse van Rensburg, Ravouvou, Worsley, Marmion, Woolmore, Oghre, Kloska, Rubiolo, Batley, Luatua, Harding, Mata, and Pepper Moroni.

Replacements: Fricker, Grahamslaw, Grahamslaw, Dun, Owen, Grondona, Lennon, and Thacker.
