Bristol’s fifth try
PAT LAM’S Bristol made the play-offs for the first time since 2021 —and they are expecting semi-final fireworks at Bath on Friday.
The Bears got the win they needed, 52-26 over Harlequins, while Sale’s victory at Exeter snuffed out any chance of Saracens and Gloucester getting into the top four.
Sharks will travel to Leicester on Saturday in the second semi-final, with the showpiece Twickenham final the weekend after.
Bath finished 11 points clear at the top of the Premiership table and will have home advantage against Bristol at the Recreation Ground.
But the Bears believe they have got some wind in their sails.
