Bristol bounce back after Lam roasting

- Adam Hathaway

PAT LAM’S half-time rocket poked the Bears into action as his side came from behind to move second in the Premiership.

The Bristol boss gave his men the hairdryer treatment when they were trailing 9-5, turning the air blue at The Stoop.

And it did the trick as the visitors scored three tries in the second half to run out convincing winners against a poor Quins.

Skipper Steven Luatua, who had a storming match after coming back from a calf injury, scrum-half Harry Randall and replacement Niyi Adeolokun all crossed for tries after the break.

And there was a supercharged performance from Bristol No.8 Nathan Hughes, who looked back to his England best, and fly-half Callum Sheedy, who did the rest with his boot.
