Bristol Bears piled more misery on a mis-firing South Africa outfit with a 26-18 victory in front of 26,357 fans at a sold-out Ashton Gate.
The first-choice Springboks have already lost internationals to Ireland and France and now their ‘A’ side followed up last week’s 28-14 defeat to Munster in Cork with another very poor display in the south west of England.
In contrast, Gallagher Premiership strugglers Bristol will be buoyed by this morale-boosting result over a squad containing 12 full internationals in their match-day 23.
