Bristol inflict bruising first loss on rivals Bath

At a packed Recreation Ground, Bristol's strong West Country derby performance handed an unimpressive Bath their first loss of the season.
With only Sam Harris scoring for Bath, the Bears jumped out to a 19-point lead and bonus point in the first 40 minutes with to tries from Max Malins, Benhard Janse van Rensburg, and debutant Santiago Grondona.
With 22 minutes remaining, Bath came within six points thanks to quick goals from Will Butt and Ross Molony after the TMO wiped off two tries in an uncharacteristically error-plagued game.
