Bristol Bears had their defence punctured eight times by Premiership leaders Leicester Tigers on Saturday in a heavy 56-26 defeat.
Tigers winger Chris Ashton stole the headlines with a hat-trick of tries to move firmly into first place as the Premiership’s all-time top scorer with 95 now.
His treble was added to by Ben Youngs’ first try of the season for Leicester, who led 27-12 at half-time, with Jack Bates and Toby Fricker replying for Bristol before the interval.
