In this week's show we talk about the fateful Friday night that saw Bristol dumped out of the Champions Cup by Sale. Hear our thoughts on the selections, tactics and player performances.
 
 We also preview the next home game against Gloucester with our friends from the Cherry Jam Podcast.
 
 Due to a technical glitch the last five minutes of this week's recording is unavailable. 

It may not have been a showcase of fluent rugby but we are mighty happy with the 9-10 victory away at Sale in the Champions Cup first leg. Hear our thoughts on the game, player performances and Pat's tactic of going with a superstar heavy bench.

With the second leg at home on Good Friday we debate the Bears approach for the next clash with Sale. Same again or do we start our big names from the first minute. Hear our thoughts.

We also talk about the arrivals of Ibitoye, Williams, Davies, Mulhall and Charalambous for next season. Some astute signings by the club as we look to balance the books next year.

There's also our thoughts on season card prices and the club's decision to move the family section to the Lansdown Upper.  All this and more with Tony, Lee and Pete.

In this show we start with the big news this week that Ellis Genge is returning home to Bristol next season. We talk about the 'Baby Rhino' heading back to BS3 and what this means for him and the squad for next year.

With the trip to Paris to play Stade Francais postponed at short notice we take a look at the team Pat selected and ponder on the future of this year's competition. 

We also look ahead to the big Boxing Day fixture against the unbeaten Leicester Tigers at Ashton Gate.  With a fixture that has more spice this year than a vindaloo, we talk to our friend at the Rolling Maul podcast (Leicester fan pod) about the Genge  transfer and accompanying promo video, last season's 'scrumgate' and the Boxing Day match up. It's a cracking listen.

There's also Under 18s discussions, the Women's team and transfer gossip about an incoming international hooker.

All this and more with Tony, Lee, Miles and Pete.

This week we have another Dads Takeover episode as Patrick and Trevor discuss the  USA Baseball NTIS system.  From State Tryouts, to Regional Tryouts, to the Champions Cup in Cary, North Carolina, the dads look to shed some light on the process.

In this week's show we discuss the disappointing 36-17 defeat at the hands of Bordeaux and our exit from this season's Champions Cup. We came up against a good Bordeaux team for sure, but we ask - did we do ourselves justice in France? We also debate the performance of the referee and TMO. Some questionable decision making but was this the main reason for our downfall?

We take a look at the tactics and player performances from the game to figure out what went wrong for the Bears. With a free week now, we discuss the need to regroup and prepare for the next league game away at Newcastle in a fortnight's time. 

We also have a very special message from the club to share and discuss the rumour that Gloucester's Mark Atkinson could be a target for Pat Lam. All this and more on this week's show.

It was another dramatic late finish for the Bears to score two tries in the final five minutes to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. A cracking game of rugby and we discuss the performances, tactics and other talking points from the 35-33 win at Ashton gate. A win that sees us extend our lead at the top of the table to 12 points. yes that's TWELVE points!

We are also joined be Veronique from The French Rugby Connections Podcast for our preview of the Champions Cup game in Bordeaux. We get the French perspective as well as talking about Pat's options for this must-win game.

All this and more on this week's show.

In this episode the boys talk about the arrival of Chris Cook from Bath and wonder where he will fit in the scrum-half pecking order and discuss the departure of Joe Batley to Worcester Warriors. There's also news of Aly Muldowney's next move in the world of rugby.

With the Umbro announcement made last week we ponder on the term 'Technical Kit Partner' and wonder why this phrase was used. We also talk about our hopes for the new partnership with Umbro, including a ladies range and of course the all important bobble hat.

We then round up other rugby news including the Champions Cup format for next year, Lord Myner's salary-cap report, a departure at Kingsholm and a long overdue rule change.
