The Queensland Reds showcased a dominant performance against the Bristol Bears, securing an impressive 82-21 victory in their Super Rugby Pacific preseason match held at Ashton Gate. Filipo Daugunu was a standout player, scoring two tries, while fullback Jock Campbell shone with a remarkable hat trick, including two tries in the opening minutes of the match.
Despite being a second-string lineup, Bristol struggled to keep pace, as the Reds capitalized on every opportunity, racking up a total of 12 tries against their three. Notably, Bristol opted to rest several key players, such as Kalaveti Ravouvou, impacting their competitiveness in the game.
Looking ahead, the Reds will continue their preseason preparations with a match against Ulster in Ireland next week. The team is eagerly anticipating the start of their Super Rugby Pacific season, where they will face Moana Pasifika on February 21.
This significant win not only boosts the Reds’ morale but also sets a positive tone as they prepare for the challenges ahead in the upcoming season. The combination of established stars and emerging talents could make them a formidable force in the league.
