Bristol Rugby have named a strong side, with a blend of youth and experience to face Heriot's at the Memorial Ground on Sunday. On the same day that they announced Fijian test outside half Nicky Little as a new signing, a Heriot's spokesman erred on the side of optimism before the big game.
"We're going down there with a bit of optimism having given 100% in the last three B&I Cup games. Our league form is on the up, and we hope to take this into the game with Bristol on Sunday. We expect a large following to head down the M6 to support the boys led by Nails supporter's club secretary, veteran Marc Teague."
Good luck chaps.
