Bristol v Northampton - HIGHLIGHTS | Dominant Victory! | Gallagher Premiership 2022/23

BATLEY HITS BALL TARDING BATLEY HITS BALL Batley wants more BATLEY HITS BALL RANDALL Oh, Gapenmall! BATLEY HITS BALL Harry Ramball fires it! BATLEY HITS BALL Sakescour napping around the rack! And Bristol Skipper makes absolutely sure! Initially the inside ball from Batley Absolutely superb! And then Fitz Harding, no look pass, leaves it on his shoulder Harding rides the challenge, gets away, can't find support They recycle And then that one show and go Genuinely on the rest mic, heard him scream as he realized What a breakout this is Gabbry just slows down a bit, delays the pass for Thacker Thacker weaving in and out Trying to take the outside, push that forwards Now Rangos scampers through Surely that went forwards in the release Bears fans are on their feet Harry Thacker celebrating It's brilliant, apart from the question Mark over Thacker's offload As he felt, ball came out of the back of his hand But was his hand moving forwards? Finn Smith just doing enough to put a hand on Thacker's thigh And affect his balance That's the best angle, please That went on, people try, this must be some pieces That's so upsetting, because it was a brilliant try, wasn't it? Great to watch There it comes Don't read And Williams rolls close Randall again, pops it upwards There it is! Thacker has it! The try is awarded A little later than advertised As far as Harry Thacker is concerned But Bristol, riding the wave at Ashton Gate That's been persistence, hasn't it? Both ends of the field, but Bristol, Thacker Having a huge impact on this game Breaking tackles, getting half through Getting back to his feet, running that hard aggressive line Back against the ball And dotting it down There Randall for this one, Piazza Sends an opportunity And he's somehow got clear how has he done that? Piazza, charging onwards Not any little thing, the skills are ridiculous The try is magnificent What are you doing right now? Stand up and applaud, Charles Piazza Not many other players in World Rugby can do this First the pirouette out of the tackle Uses his leg strength, the hard left footed step And then realises Randall's there But he can't get the pass away Drops onto his left boot Randall is really well to get that big fend up on Hendy Make sure he can't be brought down But this is filth Look at that, that's just ridiculous And a hitch kick And then a lovely little grubber That pops up perfectly at full tilt McGinty, badly Randall, pops it over the top Faka gets it away Space on the outside here It's Piazza again, charging forwards Yoan Lloyd Bears in dreamland Piazza is in casing terms And the Bristol faithful Creates the three on one here Pulled out the back, Randall does so well to get the ball over the top And then the realisation that Collins has stepped in on him Thacker gives it out Piazza has got a narrow head Against Hendy the last man Really good from Randra Great spot from Thacker, lovely delivery And Piazza has a man either side Uses the little hitch kick Hendy steps back on him And he pops it up to Lloyd It's just Bristol at their very very best What a rubbish try Terrible first half this from Bristol Do you think that left first step is going to work again tonight? Works every time He's going to have three people on him every single time he sees the ball You would expect Batley wrestling well Pops it up for Randall Throws the dummy again and heads through the hole Keeps it alive off the deck and Laheep is there Picked up by Thacker, there are Bristol Bears everywhere Piazza again, no look Yoan Lloyd in As you were Bristol Storming it at the start of a second half Just as they finished the first It is a nice of glory for Pat Lam to this point Out the back from Batley on the floor A little half show and go Gets half through, gets it off the floor Llewitton misses it Thacker picks it up And then again that three on one on the outside Two out the back door And an easy run in I know you've played tribute to him many many times But obviously he'll be leaving the Premiership at the end of this season We're going to miss him an awful lot when he can put that sort of display on aren't we? Well, I've seen it at the beginning bringing these guys in here Here comes Collins He's released Hinkley only just onto the field Great tackle made by Ibitri But Hendi touches down for Northampton And Ian Tempest blows the whistle for the score Northampton have something finally It's taken them 55 minutes I think the thing I was going to say there Is that we spoke earlier about the semi and Charles We said it's a privilege for him being the Bears But it's been a privilege to have them in the Premiership as well I think that's what the whole thing was when we brought them That it just raises the level of the Premiership Thanks so much for your time Pat, appreciate it Thank you The linesman said the legs were in the air when the ball was passed And he's right Ken Bristol sustained this sort of brilliance Through the next few weeks as one would expect the grounds to firm up And this sort of rugby to M&A still further from these parts Backly again Emma present in the loose, Louis Tour Who was on pretty early And from Randall again and they go through once more Crushing over this time through George Koska First player, Batley, wins the collision Quick ball, second player Louis Tour, wins the collision Quick ball, third player He's just got to pick a hole between two players and go over All the tempo Just basic, we've seen some really extravagant stuff tonight But this is rugby and it's most basic form Scots young Again taken low by Vooey Garcyed Chip from Grayson Gulled in by Johan Lloyds Trying to show off his left footstep And it's a pretty decent one Driven forwards, so well by Bedley That's brilliant No more dribbling No more dribbling No more dribbling No more dribbling No more deserving man on the field for Bristol tonight And Fitz Harding 50 up Straight ends, good bit of footwork there They set up their shape really well And Bedley just steps back against the grain Kicks himself out of the contact And then as you'd expect Harding right In support, lovely little right footstep Gets the fend out on the new man car side Nothing Garcyed could do to get back Burn, shape left, headed right Bradbury carries back, they go the other way There's Batley on the carry Harding Once again, the offside line breached by Moll Fanson Advantage being played Bradbury, muscling his way towards the line Has he grounded it? Another penalty though I've done his double movements I will check him Rosie, tempo, quick check please See why the referee thought he used his knees But does he actually move? I'm not sure the knee, I know he's attempting it I'm not sure they do anything for him Yeah, we need to look at the angle from the other side Tempo to see his knees move before we do anything here There's no try, 20 is offside You're going the bin, too many penalties down here Off you go A yellow card as well Full wall pattern Repel with the knee Time on Taking quickly, Randall Fires it onwards, and over they go Shakira for Bristol They have nine tonight And that is their highest ever score In a pre-match More damp to, a little bit punch drunk maybe Big gap there, Randall's been eyeing up on his way to the mark Another space is, and that defensive line Takes it, facing the other way And immediately spins back towards this side And Healen runs a hard cut against Defenders all running and love that Thank you.
