Jarvis back for Bristol to face Saracens

In the forwards Mariano Sambucetti and Alfie To’oala, who both started against Sale in the last game at the Mem, return in place of Roy Winters and Matt Salter.

Head Coach Richard Hill admitted that his team will be relying on the Memorial Stadium factor on Wednesday evening:

“We’re hoping that the home atmosphere will give the players a real lift. It was excellent against Sale and, under lights, created that special atmosphere we get down at Bristol.”

“There’s no doubt the players responded on that occasion so we hope that the crowd come in full voice tomorrow and the players respond accordingly.”

“We’ve gone back to the side that went pretty well against Sale. We’re hoping we can produce the same intensity but improve the performance slightly to clinch a win.”

“We haven’t clicked as a side yet. There’s a lot of hard work gone in so we hope that Wednesday will be when it all comes together. There’s a good mood in the camp, there’s a positive frame of mind and we’re looking forward to it.”
