The Tigers visit Ashton Gate on Easter Sunday (15:00 BST) in what is set to be key clash in the race for the Premiership top four, with third-placed Leicester five points behind the Bears.<\/p>\n
Bristol have not played since the 53-28 defeat<\/a> by neighbours Gloucester three weeks ago, in which the Cherry and Whites scored four unopposed tries during the first 17 minutes, and ended the match with nine.<\/p>\n Lam also pointed to his side’s victory over Exeter the week before as evidence of where they need to tighten up their defence after also conceding six tries.<\/p>\n “It was a really good wake-up call for us,” said Lam. “The Exeter game<\/a> as well, our defence was exposed even though we played well, we conceded 24 points in 17 minutes.<\/p>\n “I do believe it’s an anomaly the way we played that [Gloucester] game and I think after a few days off, coming back, what I did love about it was there was a lot of hurt in the team and I saw the bounce-back in training.<\/p>\n “I’m confident that we certainly won’t be that bad again this year.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
