Ep 214 - Gritty and not particularly pretty but the win against Sale concludes a very tidy Christmas campaign

The band is back together again as the boys chat over the gritty, but not particularly pretty new year win over Sale. It was a chilly night at the Gate and the fortress was certainly tested but thankfully the drawbridge was raised in the 72nd minute when Kela Ravouvou scored the deciding try.Lying fourth at the mid point of the Prem season is probably better than we could  have hoped for but we now seemed to have settled into a nice rhytmn with a level of physicality that is delivering results.Next up is a trip to the sunny High Veld and an appointment with the Vodacomm Bulls. There is a suspicion that the South Africans aren't massively keen on the Champions Cup so a victory in Pretoria would set things up nicely for the visit of Bordeaux Begles the following week. Lewis Rees-Zamit's contract extension is also discussed as is the suggestion that Moroni has the air of a Latino Henry Purdy.Join Pete, Miles and Lee for a cheeky beer and a bit of Bristol-related rugby banter...Let us know what you think!

Ep 213 - A tasty portion of 'Pod Thai'

It's a rough and ready one-take Zoom episode on account of one pod member sweating profusely half way round the world, and with no music intro, but the lads talk over the 'stuttery' win against Newcastle Red Bulls and briefly reminisce on the glory of Big Game 17 in London.They also discuss what this means for the visit of Sale next Friday and briefly look forward to the final European group games...They finish with a bit of AOB including a plug for both the 'Fan to 5K' initiative and the Bristol Bears Live Community WhatsApp group:@FansTo5K on all socialshttps://chat.whatsapp.com/L5qH2xiEyMBJdqspokkvUGDue to ongoing logistical challenges the next pod will be recorded on January 11th so HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone and thanks for your ongoing support...Made by fans for fans 🐻🏉👊Let us know what you think!
