Scaffolding has been erected outside the Myrtle Tree close to the bottom of Jacob’s Wells Road in order to display several flags showing the white and red St George’s cross. ‘Happy St George’s Day Bristol’ reads one while another also features the crests of Bristol City and England’s football team.

The day after a trial of the first away section at a Premiership match, it was business as usual at Ashton Gate as green Leicester Tigers jerseys were dotted around between the blue and white hoops of Bristol Bears. Talking of business, it was business at the front and party at the back for Benhard Janse van Rensburg, but he had stiff competition for Bristol’s best mullet from the young mascot with who he ran out onto the pitch.
