Bristol team for Saturdays game
Jack Tovey; George Watkins, Fautua Otto, Luke Eves, Ryan Edwards; Adrian Jarvis, James Grindal (c); Kyle Traynor, Ross Johnston, Gaston Cortes, Mariano Sambucetti, Glen Townson, Alafoti Faosiliva, Redford Pennycook, Mitch Eadie.
Replacements: Rhys Lawrence, Bruce Douglas, Wayne Thompson, Ben Glynn, Marco Mama, Ruki Tipuna, Tristan Roberts.
Strong looking side and interesting bench with Ollie covering scrum-half, amongst other positions. Let's hope the backs can add an attacking edge to our game. Looking forward to seeing how Scott Armstrong performs now that he's been with us a few weeks.
I'm usually a 'glass half empty' sort of bloke who expects the worst and is, therefore, even more pleased when the best happens. I surprised myself by feeling positive when I saw this team selection.
The return of Ethan Waller at loose head should give us that extra bit of solidity in the scrum. I'm hoping that Ben Pienaar and Simon Hunt can continue with the renewed interest they showed in the Plymouth game where the former was particularly good and Scott Armstrong's 20 minute cameo was enough to convince me that he could be a threat to any defence if given the service.
This will be a hard game as Bristol are pushing hard for a top 4 place and I don't want to get too excited having watched some hopelessly inconsistent and in some cases lamentable performances this season (especially the one away to Leeds) but I've got a sneaky feeling that if we play our best we might well get something out of this - and why not a win!
We must be realistic - Bristol are not going to allow a 'little' club like Mose to do the double over them. Mose need to tear into Briz from the first to last whistle, get them playing the way we want them to play and keep our discipline. Then we have a chance!
