Got to give Bristol credit here - yes, it's likely to be 2nd teams that run out for this, but they're making a good event of Rugby in Bristol - getting games against the Springboks, Barbars, and now the Crusaders. A great way to get the "casual" fans in, as opposed to another match against Sale in a noddy cup (for example, no disrespect to Sale, it's just that Bris seem to play them 10 times a season!).

Bristol have been doing a lot on that front -- and while I'm sure we'll get walloped by the crusaders, these events are having an effect. My work, for instance, had a social a couple of weeks ago to go and see a Bristol game, which I can't see happening back when we were in the championship
