BRISTOL Bears added two more players to their horrific injury list on Friday night as Max Pepper and Steven Luatua both limped off the pitch with strains, leaving director of rugby Pat Lam with more to think about selection-wise heading into their clash against reigning champions Bath this weekend.

Despite missing 13 backs heading to Kingsholm, Bristol scored seven tries against the Cherry and Whites, touching down through Gabriel Oghre (2), Kalaveti Ravouvou (2), Fitz Harding, Viliame Mata and Sam Worsley, and to walk away with five highly valuable points.
Gloucester touched down through Matias Alemanno, Seb Blake, Josiah Edwards-Giraud, Will Joseph and James Venter.
