BRISTOL director of rugby Pat Lam was annoyed at the way in which his side imploded in the second half.
He said: “The biggest issue was to lose the penalty count 20-8 and we’ll have a good hard look at our discipline as we shot ourselves in the foot.
“We came here to attack as there’s no point in going into one’s shell but they are big units and we made it too easy for them to get back into our half by giving away too many penalties.
