Whereas Lawrence tip-toed down the touchline for a comfort, the match ended with Bristol defenders hurling themselves into hurt’s means and inflicting their neighbours to cough up possession. “The Premiership is an outstanding competitors,” mentioned a magnanimous Van Graan. “In case you are solely 90 per cent in your recreation, you’ll get crushed like we did at the moment.”
