Scintillating attacking display from Bristol is too good for Irish

Bristol Bears grabbed their second win of the season in emphatic fashion with a scintillating display of attacking rugby to see off London Irish 45-33 at Brentford Community Stadium. The visitors took the lead just after the 10-minute mark, Jake Heenan picking up from the back of a ruck and diving over from a yard out, but Callum Sheedy was unable to convert on this occasion.

They added to that score with two tries in quick succession, both Toby Fricker and Jack Bates taking offloads and sprinting through to cross the line untouched. Sheedy converted on both occasions to give the visitors a comfortable 19-0 lead just before the halfway mark of the opening period.

James Stokes managed to get the hosts on the scoreboard, after spinning the ball through the backs to the right wing, Stokes cut inside and barrelled over Fricker, although Paddy Jackson missed the conversion.

      Dan Biggar on why the Autumn Nations Series is the most brutal of all

      Poor discipline crept into the Bristol side in the final stages of the half, Heenan, Charles Piutau and Andy Uren all sent to the sin-bin for a variety of infractions, leaving the home side with a three-man advantage as the half drew to a conclusion.

      Irish made good use of the numbers in the final minute when hooker Mike Willemse had the ball thrown straight back to him following a lineout before racing over to cut the deficit, with Jackson this time making no mistake with the conversion to make the score 19-12 at the break.

      Starting the half with a two-man advantage, the Irish were on the board inside the opening 90 seconds, Matt Rogerson taking an offload from Tom Parton and sprinting over, with Jackson’s conversion bringing the scores level. 

      A high-tackle yellow card for Albert Tuisue made it 14 men each, and Piers O’Conor restored the visitors’ lead by fighting his way over the line from close range, with the try confirmed by TMO to secure a bonus point. Sheedy converted to push the lead to 26-19.

      Harry Thacker made it a two-score lead, as he took an offload from Fitz Harding to score under the posts, with Sheedy adding the extras. Two Sheedy penalties extended the lead with less than 15 minutes to play.

      A Terrence Hepetema try late on bagged the home side a bonus point but another Sheedy penalty calmed the Bristol nerves, and while Kyle Rowe grabbed a final try for Irish, that proved little more than a consolation. There was still time for one final Sheedy penalty after time had expired to put the icing on the Bears’ victory.

      Former All Black Craig Newby lands head coach role in England

      I want to share my experience to help others avoid falling into the same trap. A few months ago, I was scammed by someone I trusted online.They promised to help me invest my money and make good profits, but everything turned out to be a lie. I lost a huge amount of money, and it felt like my whole world was crashing down.l almost gave up until I came across a legit recovery company online. PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY. At first, I was scared to trust anyone again, but something told me to give them a chance. I contacted their customer service, and they were very professional and understanding. They guided me through every step of the process and assured me they would do their best to help me recover my lost money.After a few weeks of investigation, they tracked down the scammers and helped me recover all my money back to my account. I couldn't believe it — it felt like a miracle! I'm sharing this to let everyone know that there are still legit companies out there like  PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY  helping victims of online scams. If you're in the same situation, don't give up. Always verify the company before trusting anyone. I'm forever grateful for their help, and I highly recommend them to anyone going through the same thing. Get in touch with them with the information below:

      Italy player ratings vs France | 2025 Six Nations

      It’s hard to imagine the frustration and helplessness a 65-year-old person with limited computer skills must feel when facing the aftermath of a crypto scam. Recovering a hacked trading wallet can feel like a nightmare, especially when every step seems to lead you into an endless loop of failed solutions. That’s exactly what I went through over the past four weeks. After my trading wallet was compromised, the hacker changed my email address, password, and even removed my phone number from the account. In a last-ditch effort, I turned to Google and stumbled upon a review about MUYERN TRUST HACKER. I was skeptical, like anyone would be in my position. But the glowing reviews, especially from people with similar experiences, gave me a glimmer of hope. Despite my doubts, I decided to reach out to them for assistance. The team at MUYERN TRUST HACKER immediately put me at ease. The fact that they were willing to schedule a 25-minute session to help me properly secure my account after recovery was invaluable. Today, I’m grateful to say that my stolen crypto has been fully recovered, and my account is secure again. This experience has taught me that sometimes, even when you feel like all hope is lost, there’s always a way to fight back. Reach out to MUYERN TRUST HACKER. Even if you’ve already tried everything, their expertise and persistence might just be the solution you need. telegram at muyerntrusthackertech or web: ht tps :// muyerntrusthacker . o r g for faster response.
