Bristol Bears suffer their first true hammering of the Premiership season
By Online Editors
Bristol Bears have fallen to their first heavy defeat of the season.
Worcester Warriors proved too strong for Pat Lam's newly promoted side, who are suffering something of an injury crisis at present.
Ironically Bristol scored first, with a try under the posts for prop Yann Thomas, which was as good as it got for the visitors to Sixways. Following that opening try Worcester Warriors would go on to score 52 unanswered points, to leave the score 52 - 7 at the close.
The Bears also failed to capitalise on a 10 minute spell at the end of the game when Warriors were reduced to 14 men when Ryan Bower was sent off in the 70th minute.

I thought my $88,000 in Bitcoin was lost forever. After exhausting every possible recovery method, resetting passwords, contacting exchanges, and searching through old files. I was at a complete loss. It felt like all hope was gone.
Then, I came across a review about MORPHOHACK CYBER SERVICES and their expertise in recovering lost Bitcoin. At first, I was skeptical. After all, I had already tried everything. But desperation pushed me to take a chance, and I reached out.
From the moment I contacted them, I was impressed by their professionalism and clear communication. They asked for the necessary details, explained the recovery process step by step, and reassured me that they had helped many others in my situation. Within just a few hours, to my absolute disbelief, they successfully recovered every last bit of my Bitcoin!
The relief and gratitude I felt were overwhelming. I had already accepted that my funds were gone, but thanks to Morphohack Cyber Service, I got everything back quickly and securely.

The rest of the team will not be anywhere in the shakeup for the championship or the incoming tours. Leinster’s young side did very well on this tour. It is obvious that the Leinster are on a different level of coaching and enthusiasm compared to the SA franchises. The No1 Leinster team is essentially Ireland - not one current SA franchise would be represented by more than three players in the Bok line-up. It’s both a strength and a weakness for Ireland. It’s an interesting dynamic.
