Bristol storm into the play-offs – the one team Bath should fear

Bristol Bears secured their semi-final spot with a thrilling victory over Harlequins thanks to Gabriel Ibitoye’s double, which put them in confident territory despite Harlequins’ late surge. The win has bolstered coach Pat Lam’s team’s confidence ahead of crucial playoff games, including their upcoming encounter against the traditionally strong Bath squad. Meanwhile, Ibitoye, a key figure in Bristol’s ambition and relentless threat, continues to shine as he nears the top of the scoring charts, while Pedro Rubiolo’s debut has already made an impact with his powerful performances.
