European Champions Cup Rugby returned to BS3 in impressive style with a visit from our Parisian friends Stade Français.
The 8pm Saturday kick-off may have been strange but there was an old familiar feel to some of Bristol’s play as we were treated to some fantastic running rugby, out of hand no-look passes and at times, breath-taking wizardry.
I had a feeling it might be our day when I saw the Stade team coach cruise past me on Coronation Road around midday with a seemingly bewildered driver heading in the opposite direction to Ashton Gate.
