Bristol missed the chance to go to the top of the Gallagher Premiership as Nizaam Carr scored a last-minute try to hand Wasps a 26-21 victory at Ashton Gate.

Wasps outscored their opponents by four tries to two with Jacob Umaga, Malakai Fekitoa, Matteo Minozzi and Carr all crossing, while Umaga added three conversions.

Charles Piutau and Harry Thacker scored Bristol’s tries as Callum Sheedy kicked three penalties and a conversion.

Wasps conceded three penalties in the opening 12 minutes and from the last of those, Sheedy put his side in front.

The game was being played in the middle third of the pitch and while Wasps built up some pressure, Sheedy’s penalty was the only score of the first half.

The first try came two minutes after the restart as Bristol gave away possession and Umaga capitalised by sailing through a gap to run 30 metres and score. The fly-half converted but Sheedy soon responded with his second penalty.

Wasps lost Thomas Young with a blood injury and in his absence, Bristol regained the lead when Sheedy’s well-judged pass gave Piutau the chance to run strongly and force his way over, with the fly-half converting.

The visitors’ response was superb as a well-timed pass sent Fekitoa through a big gap in the Bears’ defence and the impressive centre showed his class by dummying the full-back and going over. Umaga successfully converted and moments later Wasps stunned their opponents with their third score when Zach Kibirige ran 50 metres to set up a try for Minozzi.

Thacker then finished off a lineout drive for Bristol’s second and although Sheedy missed an easy conversion, he was on target with a penalty four minutes from time. Bristol looked home and dry but Wasps broke out for Carr to perform heroics down the right-hand touchline and crash over for the winner, with Umaga adding some gloss to the win by kicking the extras.

George Skivington talks up 'relative unknown's England chances

I Could Hardly Breathe! Months of tireless fundraising had finally come through for my small nonprofit, and we had $300,000 in Bitcoin to supply food, shelter, and medical aid to refugees fleeing war. That fund was hope, a future for families who had no other place to turn. It all fell apart in an instant. Our treasurer, a man I'd trusted like a brother, vanished overnight and took the entire fund with him. I was heartbroken. The weight of the people who were depending on us pressed against my chest. I could hardly breathe. I looked at my screen, powerless to do anything as the blockchain ledger confirmed my worst nightmare, the funds had been moved through a series of wallets, vanished into thin air.

Sleepless and remorseful, I consulted a crisis management expert in a desperate phone call. With the calm, panic-slashing tone of her voice, she spoke GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . Her confidence was the sort that spoke of seen miracles. At that straw of hope, I grasped and called them immediately.

From that first call, GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES treated my case like those refugee lives were in their own hands. Their lead investigator explained their approach, tracing transactions through blockchains, monitoring wallet activity, and leveraging relationships with international exchanges. They explained it all in plain terms, never once making me feel dumb for my ignorance. They understood both the technical complexity and the human stakes.

There were daily progress reports. They followed the laundering path our treasurer had attempted, following the trail through the decentralized exchanges and privacy-focused mixers. Each breakthrough was like a heartbeat resuscitating a stilled chest. On the nineteenth day, they called with the words I had scarcely dared to hope: "We got it back."

I got down on my knees and wept. $300,000 was safely recovered to our nonprofit wallet. But GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES didn't hesitate. They guided us through implementing enhanced security measures, such as multi-signature wallets, cold storage solutions, and rigorous internal oversight. They even advised us on vetting future financial officers.

Our mission is stronger today than ever. Refugee families are still being assisted, and I sleep well knowing our funds are secure. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES not only retrieved our Bitcoin, they restored my faith in resiliency and human kindness.
