I’ve not been following closely the details of what is happening at Bristol this season, but they seem to have totally imploded considering their performances in 2020/21

I think they’re still in shell shock from the semi final implosion. Plus they’re a different team without Radrada

Wow Bristol had a shocker tonight. Harlequins with another big comeback and scored 45 unanswered points in the second half. They did - but don't underplay Quins. They absolutely sang last night, Smith, Dombrandt, Lynagh, Green, Esterhuizen, all had wonderful halves - and the atmosphere in the ground was immense. I've sat in the same seat for 15 years and it's been a long time (possible the 84 minutes against Stade Francais in 2008) since I can remember the Stoop rocking like that. You got a game and a half last night unsliced. Esterhuizen was unreal, it felt like half the tries came from his jackals. Your back 3 when they counter attacked, I always felt they were going to break the first tackle and go through the line. |

I think that the shock of their semifinal defeat last season has long since passed. They’re professional enough not to let that dog them at this stage. Radradra didn’t feature in the side until Boxing Day at the beginning of last season, so although he makes an impact, his absence shouldn’t cause the poor run of results (three defeats and one fairly close victory). Something’s gone rather sour down there. |

premiershiprugby.com Worth a rewatch I would say, except if you’re a Bears fan. |

When will Hooper get the boot? Worst start to any season, near enough biggest loss ever despite being a team stuffed full of capped players. Just embarrassed to be Baff fan at the mo. |

Dimes in? Cipriani is the wrong fit I think. Off by Xmas to MLR I reckon. Some good youngsters coming through in the backline - Bailey, Ojomoh and De G. Not sure there’s anyone with a bit of “dog” though in the squad. I like Bayliss too, he’s got some gas. |

I've decided to cling to straws. Eddie Jones always seems to be popping up at the Rec to eyeball players. He has said he'll finish with England after the next WC. There are no coincidences. 🤞 |

Which was the Prem game last weekend Eddie J said he would have walked out of if he’d been paying? Any ideas?

Possibly Newcastle v Bristol, the highlights for the game on BT sport began at 36 minutes.
