Lyon end Heineken Cup slide with emphatic win over Bulls
By PA
Lyon brought an emphatic end to their Heineken Champions Cup drought by crushing the Bulls 31-7 at Matmut Stadium de Gerland.
The French club, sat in mid-table in their domestic Top 14 competition, claimed their only win of the pool stage in style, finishing with a bonus-point victory that lifts them into the top eight.
They led 24-0 at half-time with hooker Guillaume Marchand crossing twice amid a dominant display from their pack before Leo Berdeu scored the fourth try in the 58th minute.
The Bulls paid the price for a high penalty count and they never got going in frosty conditions, but their two wins earlier in the group phase means they still have a better chance of qualifying for the last 16.
The newcomers from South Africa remain in sixth place with Lyon in seventh.

Yeah I read down, just surprised that you were saying that Bristol were struggling at the time when you know very well that's not true!
Looking at the first choice 15 that beat the blues that year, just three of them were in the 23 in Bristol.
Anyway, good response.
