How will it go? Bristol suffered a setback last weekend – but it could be the best thing to happen to them in a long time. Bristol to win by 10 points - Steve Cotton

Words of wisdom: Every game in our pool is going to be tough – home and away – so our focus is on taking it week by week and slowly improving –Bristol centre Junior Fatialofa on the Championship promotion play-offs

Just a thought: Bristol finished 36 points clear of Pirates at the end of the 22-game regular Championship season, having beaten them both home and away.
