Director of rugby Pat Lam was full of praise for his Bristol Bears after an impressive performance saw them crush Gloucester 51-26 and end a run of five consecutive Premiership defeats.

Gloucester were blown away to trail 41-7 after only 50 minutes but Bristol replaced impressive half-backs Callum Sheedy and Harry Randall, which allowed Gloucester to stage a rally by scoring three tries in 15 minutes before the hosts sealed victory.

Lam said: “To put over 50 points on Gloucester is no mean feat and I’m very pleased as most things went very well. We started off with the right mindset but blew a few early chances by playing too many balls and short passes but we were patient and the scores came.

    “Despite our losing run, we haven’t been far away in recent weeks. The boys have put the effort in throughout but it is only today that we have got our reward.

    “We took Callum off because he had a minor quad problem but the game was already won and we wanted to give some other players some game time.

    “However, our looseness let them back into it and the boys should have done better but we were able to get the momentum back. Our pack went really well. It was great to have Steve Luatua back as he’s been here from the start and knows exactly how we play.

    “James Dun and Joe Batley are also playing their best rugby. They have been out to Jersey and Worcester on loan but both are back here and now at the top of the game.”

    Gloucester head coach George Skivington felt his side would have to reconsider the way they play after losing their sixth game on the trot. He said: “For most of last season our pack was dominant and we have endeavoured to develop our game in an attempt to score more tries.

    “However, whilst we are scoring more tries, we have lost the ferocity of our pack and we are looking like a bit of everything. We got a bonus point so it wasn’t an absolute car crash but Bristol were outstanding and opened up our defence far too easily.

    “From the outset we expected it to be fast and furious but Bristol were really sharp and we were chasing shadows after that. Louis Rees-Zammit had a big game and his try just before half-time was big as it gave us a little bit of momentum.”

    My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
