Ep49 - Bears go down to Wasps in season opener and our thoughts for the year ahead

The boys are back with a new season of Bears Beyond The Gate. In this episode we review the narrow defeat to Wasps in the opening league game. A wasted opportunity with Wasps snatching victory in the dying minutes, or a sterling effort with 17 players unavailable through international duty and injuries?

We take a look ahead to the next game at home to Worcester. Will Pat keep faith with the 23 that went to the Ricoh Arena or could we see some fresh faces?

There's discussion over the Government's recently announced funding package for rugby, news that BT Sport will broadcast every game behind close doors until Christmas, and the changes to the points awarded for Covid-19 cancelled games. 

We finish with a look at the Bears players who have represented their countries in the Autumn Nations Cup.

Let us know what you think!
