  • Bristol 12 Leinster 35 Premiership high-flyers Bristol were brought crashing down to earth in their Champions Cup opener as tournament heavyweights Leinster beat them at Ashton Gate. Bristol had no answer to a second-half scoring blitz that saw four-time competition winners Leinster score three tries in six minutes.

The article discusses the rugby match between Bristol Bears and Leinster in the Investec Champions Cup, highlighting the significant disparity in team resources and performance. Bristol, constrained by the Premiership's salary cap, faced a formidable Leinster side, whose bench was notably stronger and included several international players. Despite a valiant effort from Bristol, especially in the first half where they managed to keep the score close, Leinster's superior squad depth and quality ultimately prevailed. The match showcased Leinster's ability to bring on high-caliber replacements, which Bristol simply could not match due to financial limitations, leading to a 33-14 victory for Leinster. This game underscored the challenges English clubs face under salary cap restrictions when competing against wealthier European teams.
