Ep44 - Bristol Bears secure first European final with extra-time win
Episode description
In this week's show we talk about the dramatic European Challenge Cup semi-final against Bordeaux. Once again it was a slow start at Ashton Gate before Bristol came back from 0-13 down to lead 20-13 deep into the second half. But a late Bordeaux try took the game into extra time at 20-20. The Bears powered through the extra 20 minutes to win 37-20 and seal a first ever European final. What a nail biter! What a win! What a night!
With two games in five days we review the upcoming games against Leicester and London Irish that will confirm our final league position and playoff ambitions. Hear our thoughts on these must-win games and if we think Bristol can make the top four.
