After a frustrating first-half of the season, four bonus point wins on the bounce has provided the perfect platform for an assault back up the Premiership mountain. It’s going to be a long haul but whisper it quietly, the Bears are starting to build momentum.
With several winnable fixtures to come, a new found confidence flowing through the squad and a fired-up Siva Naulago on a one-man search and destroy mission, who knows what the table will look like come the end of February.
That said, the game on Saturday was classic Bears. A scintillating first-half, where pace and ambition combined to secure a high-octane bonus point after half an hour, with a frustrating second where ill discipline meant the squad was stretched to breaking point and had to dig deep to repel a moderate Falcons rearguard.
