In this episode we discuss the narrow 31-28 loss to Gloucester at Kinsgholm. After chastening defeats to Newcastle and Exeter this was an improved performance by Bristol, even if some basic errors cost us dear. Hear our thoughts on player performances and the key points from the game.

We also talk about the A Team's game at Exeter and the Women's cup game against Loughborough Lightening. There's also our thoughts on Wasps likely demise and rumours that the Bears might be looking at Dan Robson as scrum half cover.

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

In this week's show we discuss Bristol's dissapointing 27-10 defeat away at Kingsholm. With possible our strongest match-day squad of the season, expectations were raised but not matched by the result.

We talk about the performances, tactics and ask when will the Bears start to click again?

There's also the start of our European Champions Cup campaign at home to Scarlets this weekend. But with the bulk of the Welsh team's squad not out of COVID-19 isolation until 24 hours before the game what's going to happen? 

Will we face a patched up Scarlets XV or will the game be forfeited to protect player welfare. Hear our thoughts on the show.

All this and more with Tony, Lee, Miles, Pete and our guest tree!

In this week's show we review the 18-17 Bristol victory away at Gloucester. We got the win in the end but it was a mis-firing performance by the Bears at Kingsholm not helped by gifting two interception tries. Was it the weather? Was it the absence of certain key players, or was it just one of those days?

We look ahead to the next game away at London Irish at their new home - the Brentford Community Stadium. We interview the chair of the London Irish Supporters Club to find out about their season so far, players to watch and his prediction for the game.

We also give our thoughts on the news that relegation is scrapped this year; the performances of some of our international players in the Six Nations; and a new Bristol cafe that is a 'must' for any thirsty Bears' fans.

All this and more on today's show that was recorded on Valentine's Day. Do you feel the love?

In this week's show we reflect on the 20-13 defeat at home to Sale Sharks. The team from 'up north' brought their A game to Ashton Gate and stifled our attack. We ask what can we learn from this loss and its impact on our season.

There's a preview of our next game away at local rivals Gloucester. Not just another Premiership game, we are also looking to retain the Rifles Cup that's awarded to the winners of the league matches between Bristol and Gloucester. With our friends from Kingsholm having a torrid season, will Bristol get back to winning ways?

We also talk about the sad news that Bristol legend, John Pullin, passed away last week. Whilst playing for the club, John won 42 England caps and captained his country as well as taking part in two Lions tours. We give our thoughts on what the club should do to recognise his illustrious playing career.

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

In this week's show we review the memorable 24-33 victory over Gloucester at Kingsholm. This is Bristol Bears first win their since 2006 and we once again retain the Rifles Cup. New signing Semi Radradra caught the eye with a stunning first half performance but who else did we think had a good game.

We discuss Pat's team selection for the first midweek fixture against Exeter Chiefs on Tuesday and consider what this may mean for the squad to travel to Sale on Saturday. The boys give their score predictions for both games - will you agree with our thoughts?

Finally we discuss the new season card prices, the reduction in the payments scheme from 10 months to 5 and the club's failure to provide accurate credit figures to this year's season ticket holders. 

We finish off by answering your comments and questions from social media.

After five long months, Tony, Lee, Miles and Pete have an actual game of rugby to discuss! And what a game. It wasn't pretty but Bristol Bears pull off a memorable 16-12 victory over reigning champions Saracens. We look at performances, tactics, what worked and what didn't.

We then look ahead to Friday night's trip up the M5 to take on Gloucester at Kingsholm. We give our thoughts and also catch up with Cherry Jam - the new Gloucester rugby podcast to get an inside line on what to expect.

This episode rounds off with a discussion about the 33 new contracts handed out to the squad and then we answer some of the points raised by our Twitter followers. 

We're still buzzing from that win, we hope you are too.
