Bristol Bears end 22-year wait for a league win away at Wasps Rugby

Bristol Bears secured their first league win away at Wasps in 22 years with an ugly but efficient 23-8 victory at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday.

Callum Sheedy passed the 1000 point mark for Bristol with an 18-point haul against Wasps, scoring a try, hitting four from four kicks off the tee and landing a late drop goal.

The Bears, buoyed by their opening round victory over Bath, spent the majority of the game without the ball but cruised to a win by simply making fewer errors than a Wasps side devoid of confidence after letting a 21-point lead slip at Gloucester last week.
