- Play-off Semifinal: Bath 34-20 Bristol;

Bristol won their last match not too long ago, in September, securing a victory over Gloucester in the Premiership Rugby Cup round two. This team has played twice this month, recording one win and one loss, starting with the loss against Sale Sharks. They displayed a disappointing performance, as they had only 15 points before their last match, which they won. Moreover, this team remains at the same level as last season and will now need to demonstrate to the world what they have to offer if they genuinely want to challenge for trophies this season.
