City or Rovers? England and Bristol Bears star Ellis Genge reveals his side of the divide

England's Bristol-born rugby star Ellis Genge confirmed he is a Gashead when relating the club's historic wait for success to that of the England national rugby side.

The 27-year-old prop returned to his hometown last year to sign for Bristol Bears following six years with the Leicester Tigers where he captained the side to the 2021-22 Premiership title.

Genge scored his sixth international try during England's opening tournament defeat against Scotland in Steve Borthwick's first game in charge. It heightened fan disappointment with a fifth Calcutta Cup loss in six years including the first time they have lost three times in a row against the auld enemy since 1972.
