Episodes
In this last episode of yet another eventful but ultimately unsuccessful season we unashamedly put the stopwatch away and ramble on until we run out of gas.
We chart our performances through the season and reminisce over the ups, the downs and the in betweens. It's actually quite a cathartic experience and leads us into a more wide ranging discussion about what coming 6th actually means both in terms of this season in particular and...
We look back on the excellent victory vs TFDTR on Friday night a the Gate which was a fitting way to say good bye to the leavers as well as purge some of the Franklin’s Garden horror from the previous round.
We admire the endeavour to bagel Bath in the second half and actually come back to win from 14 points behind - despite one or two heart-in-mouth moments - and revel in some excellent individual performances…
- Fitz...
It's a sombre pod and many things have already been said about Friday's chastening and record-breaking defeat against Saints across various platforms. There are lots of interrelated reasons why teams lose matches both contextual and in the heat of battle, but ultimately shipping that many points to a rival is almost impossible to comprehend let alone accept.
How do you analyse a game like that? We do our best to try and put in into ...
In this week's episode, Pete, Lee and Miles discuss Bristol's dominant victory away at Newcastle.
It was another welcome five points but it came at a cost with more injuries to contend with.
On the postive side we have two weeks to recover and prepare for the vist of Saracens which will be the 'must wins' of must wins. Can we get that irritiating North London monkey off our back or will the Death Eaters suck the life out of us yet ag...
In this special preview episode Pete is joined by Rob from the Rosbifs Rugby pod.
He gives us the lowdown on what to expect from Toulouse on Saturday. It's not particularly optimisitc but there are a few crumbs of comfort and who knows, stranger things have happened?
Equally, or maybe even more importantly, the second half of the chat is all about what to do when you get out there this weekend including going to watch Colomiers vs Da...
In a slight diversion from the norm Pete, Lee and Miles record live from The Philarmonic on St Mary's Street, Cardiff, both before and straight after the game.
What a difference a few hours makes!
You can only say what you think and the Thatchers fuelled pre-match expectation and optimism is countered by the harsh reality of the post-match result. If that doesn't remind anyone of the fickle nature of being a fan then we don't know wh...
We're back from our Six Nations hiatus with a round up of news from in and around the club as well turning our attention to the relatively happy hunting gound that is Welford Road as we re-start our quest to reach the Prem summit on Sunday.
Running order:
- Injury updates
- Contract extensions
- New signings
- Big Day Out ticket sales
- Bears Women
- Matt Salter
- Prem Cup campaign pluses and minuses
- Tigers preview with a little help from BBC Leicest...
The main event is the Jake Heenan interview where we chat to him about his rugby career which of course included seven years and over 100 appearances for Bristol Bears. We also discuss his relationship with Pat from his time as a youngster in the Auckland Blues Academy through to the title winning Connacht side of 2016 and finally his successful stint in Bristol. He provides great insight into the ups and downs of a pro rugby playe...
The band is back together again as the boys chat over the gritty, but not particularly pretty new year win over Sale.
It was a chilly night at the Gate and the fortress was certainly tested but thankfully the drawbridge was raised in the 72nd minute when Kela Ravouvou scored the deciding try.
Lying fourth at the mid point of the Prem season is probably better than we could have hoped for but we now seemed to have settled ...
It's a rough and ready one-take Zoom episode on account of one pod member sweating profusely half way round the world, and with no music intro, but the lads talk over the 'stuttery' win against Newcastle Red Bulls and briefly reminisce on the glory of Big Game 17 in London.
They also discuss what this means for the visit of Sale next Friday and briefly look forward to the final European group games...
They finish with a bit of AOB in...
Just like the BBC, the pod is here to inform, educate and entertain so we were delighted to chat with Rob Graham from the Rosbifs Rugby pod about all things Pau.
He gives us an insight into this less fashionble club from the foot of the Pyrenees and predicts how they might shape up at Ashton Gate on Sunday.
We also hear from Mark and Cameron from the Bears Supporters Advisory Committee who give us an update on their successes so far ...
In this episode we review the game against Scarlets. It looked like we were cruising at 12-0 up with more points to come but the home side had other ideas and put in a proper shift to take us to the wire.
We discuss the reasons why this might have happened as well as hear the thoughts of some listeners.
Equally as importantly the game marked the first BBTG road trip of the season so we also review activities that took place off...
SORRY - for some unspecified reason the sound quality isn't as crisp us usual but there isn't much I can do about it 😭.
