Match Guide: Bristol Bears Women vs Trailfinders Women

The full match preview for this weekend’s clash between Bristol Bears Women and Trailfinders Women at Shaftesbury Park.

Bristol Bears Women vs Trailfinders Women

The atmosphere around TFSC is one of pure elation after Trailfinders Women’s first win as an elite outfit over Leicester Tigers Women. Can they get their first ever away win vs Bristol Bears Women?

About the opposition

Bristol Bears Women have had a relatively strong start to their PWR campaign, winning two and losing two to put them 3rd place in the league.

Their most recent victory came last weekend with a dominant 46-17 victory over Loughborough Lightning, where they ran in eight tries in a strong attacking display.

What to expect

The home side will be looking to once again play with the attacking, expansive rugby they showed last week. Whilst dangerous, this will leave them susceptible on the counter.

Bears winger Megan Varley will be one to watch. Varley was named PWR player of the week in the last round of matches, having scored two tries and completing 191 metres in carries in the victory over Loughborough.

In the first ever meeting between the two sides, it will most likely be a close affair, with both sides full of confidence after victories on the weekend.
