There is more Premier League quality in the side in the form of former Wasps hooker Tom Lindsay. At 29 he still has plenty to offer and will be a fierce competitor in the front row if involved. Steven Luatua of Bristol Rugby looks on against Richmond Rugby What's the word from the Bristol camp? Defence coach Jonathan Thomas said Bristol are still working to achieve greater cohesion and play as a team rather and individuals. He said: “The biggest thing we’ve spoken about in the past two weeks is trying to get everyone on the same page and making sure we’re all working to the same system” “I think maybe, in the first two weeks, we’ve been a little bit guilty of trying a bit too hard as individuals and sometimes going out of that system.
“We’ve got some tough games coming up and we need to go up to the next level now. “We can be pleased that, system wise, we’re showing improvements, but Bedford away is a tough game for us – and we’ve got Ealing and London Scottish to follow that – so we need to go to the next level with our defence and overall game. “Goldington Road is a tough place to go, we know it’s a bit of a fortress for them and it’ll be a step up in intensity. “Bedford have got really good balance to their game and they’ve got the ability to play through teams with some really strong forward runners. They’ve also got a good kicking game and a strong maul as well, so for us, it’s a good challenge.

Preview: Bedford Blues v Bristol RugbyBristol Rugby travel to Bedford Blues on Saturday with a chance to go top of Greene King IPA Championship for the first time this season. Bristol sit second in the table as one of only two unbeaten teams in the league after just three rounds played. Top are Ealing Trailfinders who have secured a bonus point in each of their matches unlike Bristol who have managed it just twice. However, to get to the top, ignoring what Ealing do when they host London Scottish in another West London derby, Bristol will have to be on the top of their game as they face one of the better sides in the Championship at Goldington Road. Ian Madigan of Bristol Rugby looks for a gap against Hartpury Bristol may have won all their games so far this season but that elusive 80 minute performance has still not been achieved by Pat Lam’s side as they bid to return straight back to the Aviva Premiership having got relegated last season.

But Bristol won the other four encounters including most importantly the play-off semi-finals, winning 45-19 at home and 45-16 away. Bristol then beat Doncaster Knights to earn a place in the Aviva Premiership.
