Prem debuts for Jack Bracken and Charlie West, and another chance for Sodeke and Cluori

[FKAS]

That's a big and bruising back five off the pack for Sarries. No real link or breakdown option in there though. Might be an issue if they can't bludgeon Bristol into submission.

Bris missing a number of key players with Woolmore a surprising choice as captain.

Bracken might have his hands full with Ravouvou.

[fivepointer]

Utterly grim first half half from Bristol, compounded by another injury in the backs.

[Danno]

Yeah that's a brutal HT score

And there's been about 5 knee injuries today?

[jimKRFC]

Jordan, Jenkins and LRZ all off injured... Bristols season looks done before it's got going.

[Epaminondas Pules]

Jack Bracken is such a talent! The only down side was Sarries butchering opportunities by not passing to him whe they should have.

Sodeke with another good cameo!
