OGHRE AND WORSLEY STAR AS BRISTOL BEAT GLOUCESTER IN THRILLING CLASH
Gabriel Oghre’s two tries and Sam Worsley’s perfect conversion rate led the way as Bristol Bears won 49-34 at Gloucester, who remain winless in this Gallagher PREM season.
Oghre and Bristol used a powerful ruck to great effect to take a narrow lead into half-time in a half that swung back and forth, which Gloucester dominated but lacked the final product.
After an end-to-end start to the second half, Gloucester faltered in the final ten minutes as Kalaveti Ravouvou bagged two tries for the visitors to seal the bonus point win.
Gloucester also bagged a bonus point, but this will be little comfort as their worst start to a Gallagher PREM season continues, their miseries being compounded by suffering several injuries as their squad gets more and more depleted.
The win moves Bristol into fourth place ahead of the rest of the fixtures this weekend, while Gloucester remain ninth, only above pointless Newcastle Red Bulls, who lost 36-19 to Northampton Saints in the other game played on Friday night.
