Thats a decent Bristol side. It will certainly be a contest. Probably a high scoring one.

Hello everyone, Well a new season has finally started, close season seems to go on forever!
That's a strong Bristol team, who have the advantage of playing a full game last week. As always with Bristol their attack was good and defence awful! Let's hope we defend better than Gloucester who were even worse than Bristol!!! I think last week's runout will probably make the difference.
I'm going Chiefs 24 Bristol 36

In Rob we trust.
By the way - cream on first. There's nothing to debate.
