Rating Bristol's survival chances
- 1177
Bristol have often been a yo-yo club of the top flight, but tonight's win may have just stopped that trend.
The Bears now are up to 9th and sit 13 points clear of Newcastle Falcons. A win tonight was massive for the Bears and it might just be enough to secure survival.
Only 4 teams have been relegated with more than 30 points:
Harlequins = 38 pts (2005)
Bristol = 33 pts (2003)
Northampton = 32 pts (2007)
Newcastle = 32 pts (2012)

With 7 games still to play, you'd be confident in putting your money on Bristol to stay up.
