Bristol lost their last match against Bath, which broke their winning streak of two in a row. The game was close in the first half, as Bristol were close to drawing level by four points, losing the first half 19-15, but the second half was disappointing as they failed to get a point, giving away the point after the hard work from the first half. Their mentality in the second half was insufficient to get a better result. The Bears have won two of their last three games, but it shows they have been suffering in getting and conceding points, with one game resulting in them not conceding up to 34 points. Also, only one game saw them getting more than 15 points.
