In this week's show we discuss Bristol Bears 28-17 win against Stade Francais Paris at Ashton Gate in the Champions Cup. Kicking off at the unusual time of 8pm on Saturday evening the Bristol faithful witnessed a free flowing open game with some cracking tries from the Bears. We talk tactics, team performance and pick out some individuals who shone for us.

Next week is the final pool game against Welsh foes, Scarlets at Parc y Scarlets. With qualification to the knockout stage guaranteed we ask what team will Pat take to Wales for this fixture. We talk team selections and give our score predictions.

We round up the show with our thoughts on which Bears' players may receive call ups for their respective Six Nations squads. We debate who may be leaving us for the international camps and what impact that will have on Bristol's chances of glory in the second half of the season.
