We just had to stay patient and break them down eventually.”<\/span><\/p>\n The home crowd was joyful in the sunshine from the off as Beckett made a break and scored the hosts’ opener.<\/span><\/p>\n After a period of pressure, a powerful home pack rolled a maul across the tryline for Wales hooker Jones’ score.<\/span><\/p>\n Bristol were revived after the break and Davies scored twice in driving mauls – the second coming after Phoebe Murray gathered a kick and tore up the field to put her team in a perfect position.<\/span><\/p>\n Snowsill narrowly missed the conversion that would have tied the scores at 14-14 and Gloucester-Hartpury shut down the comeback soon after.<\/span><\/p>\n Bethan Lewis’ try was ruled out because of an earlier Emma Sing knock-on, but the hosts built through the phases again and Lund had plenty of space to score the try that secured victory.<\/span><\/p>\n |
