Lam: Job done but far too many errors

BRISTOL kept their play-off bid on track with a bonus-point win over Leicester.

Their six-try victory moved them level on points with fourth-placed Sale going into today’s final round of matches.

Ioan Lloyd, Nathan Hughes and Bryan Byrne all crossed before the break with Dan Thomas securing the bonus point for Bears early in the second half.

Harry Thacker added a fifth, with a penalty try completing the rout.

Bristol head coach Pal Lam said: “It’s job done in the sense of the five points. A good outcome and there were some good performances here and there.

“But ultimately, I’m not completely satisfied in terms of we could’ve been a lot better. We talked about being ruthless in this game, at times we were, but a lot of times we weren’t.

“We had balls turned over and I think nine balls lost in contact and five dropped passes. You can’t control the tempo of the game when it’s stop-start and it’s us making those errors.”
