BRISTOL boss Pat Lam reflected on “a wonderful occasion” after his team remained firmly in Gallagher Premiership play-off contention with a 36-14 victory over Bath at the Principality Stadium.
-
The Premiership's first game in Wales attracted a crowd of 51,095, with a fixture Bristol billed as the club’s Big Day Out not disappointing under a closed roof.
“It was a wonderful occasion. Both sets of fans came out in numbers,” Lam said.
“I have had the privilege to play in this stadium, and the boys are buzzing.
“It is an experience they won't forget.”
Bristol’s bonus-point win took them third ahead of Friday’s crunch away clash against play-off rivals Sale Sharks.
