Bristol Bears might need to change their theme tune when they run out at Ashton Gate moving forward because Saturday's 25-10 defeat to Saracens was a long way from being 'The Greatest Show.'
Not only did the injury-depleted Bears lose for the fifth straight Premiership game to drop down to ninth in the Premiership table but the once-great entertainers of the league barely fired a shot in anger for most of the contest as any hope of fireworks on the pitch on bonfire night were extinguished by a first half downpour.
A pair of tries from the Bristol forwards, one from a dynamic maul to put Harry Thacker over and another for replacement Jonathan Benz Solomon saw the final score flatter the Bears who were no match for Saracens' efficiency for most of the match.
