We are back with season four of Bears Beyond The Gate.

This week we discuss the performances from the Bears three pre-season friendlies and ask what pointers can we take for the opening game.

We also preview 'The Big One' that kicsk off our season at home against arch rivals Bath. We give our thoughts on the starting XV and how we see the game going.

There's also our review of this seasons three shirts, our thoughts on Worcester's predicament and our predictions for Bristol's 2022/23 season.

All this and more with Tony, Lee, Miles and Pete. It's good to be back.

Let us know what you think!
