After two opening league wins, Ross were looking to continue their unbeaten start to the season with a trip to Bristol, and came away with a deserved victory 19-0.

Cotham, with a big pack, looked early on to try and dominate up front but a determined and cohesive Ross pack had obviously failed to read the script. The hard work put in on the training paddock by the coaches and the front five is paying dividends with another great scrimmaging performance, which put the home side on the back foot from the outset.

Once Ross had put paid to Cotham's game plan they slowly looked to build the pace and tempo of the game, as the pace of the game increased the home side found it more difficult to prevent Ross from exploiting space and it was only a matter of time before Ross got on the scoreboard.
