How Bristol Rugby's players rated in the win over Nottingham

Luke Arscott 7

Set up two tries and provided a constant threat from the back

Tom Arscott 7

Had one real chance and took it – the mark of a classy finisher

Jack Adams 8

Ran hard, scored an impressive try and caused lots of problems

Junior Fatialofa 6

Was targeted by Nottingham and didn't carry his usual threat

Dan Norton 7

Smart in defence, sharp in attack

Adrian Jarvis 7

A top-class goal-kicking display and effective in open play

Jason Spice (capt) 7

Another big effort from the skipper

Mark Irish 8

Scored a fine try, worked hard and shame about sin-binning

David Blaney 7

Effective in both the tight and loose

Darren Crompton 7

Made life tough for Fowkes and then Cook before going off

Nathan Budgett 8

Two games in after injury, it's as though he was never away

Roy Winters

Carried ball, secured it at line-outs and tackled fiercely

James Merriman 7

Linked play well between forwards and backs

Dan Montagu 7

Eager to impress against his old club – and did not disappoint

STAR MAN

Iain Grieve 8

A mature and commanding performance from the 22-year-old flanker
