Bristol Bears could have a quartet of star players back from injury to bolster their squad for Saturday’s showdown with Gloucester Rugby for the final Champions Cup qualifying place.
The race for eighth couldn’t be tighter going into Round 24 of the Gallagher Premiership, with Bristol sat in the hot seat with 42 points, West Country rivals Bath also on 42 points in ninth and the Cherry and Whites a point behind in 10th. Bath face Saracens - who have nothing left to play for in this fixture - at the same time on Saturday.
