- 1356
Wasps come away with a full house of points in a thrilling encounter at Ashton Gate. Thomas Young powered over the line for the first try of the game in the 10th minute before Tom Cruse and Nizaam Carr put Wasps up by 16 at half time. Billy Searle when down with a suspected broken ankle early in the second half after starring in the first. The Bears started their comeback soon after Searle left the field with Harry Randall getting on the end of a lovely team move but his try was cancelled out by an outrageous 40m dash by second rower Will Rowlands. Tries from Piers O'Connor and Charles Piutau kept Bristol in the game before Lima Sopoaga extended the lead to 7 points in the 66th minute. Bristol did get one last shot to draw the game but Will Rowlands stopped the rolling maul as the match ended Bristol Bears 22-29 Wasps.
