Bristol Bears burn Leinster and Ireland star James Ryan

Leinster Rugby overcame a stiff resistence by Premiership outfit the Bristol Bears in round one of the Investec Champions Cup on Sunday.

The two sides were locked at 7 points apiece until the 52nd minute when Leinster unloaded their star-studded bench that included Gus McCarthy, Andrew Porter, Thomas Clarkson, RG Snyman, Caelan Doris and Jordie Barrett.

From here, there was only one side in the contest as Leinster sprung into action to score four tries in ten minutes to secure a bonus point.

Netting two of those scores was young flyhalf Sam Prendergast, who had a mightily impressive showing as he nailed all six of his kicks at goal, whilst Barrett also scored a try on his debut.

This explosion of action proved unequivocally that Leinster are once again among the key favourites to win the title this season.

Although the Dublin side firmly got the upper hand on the pitch, the Bristol Bears social media team took the W off it.

Highlighting a moment where Leinster and Ireland international lock James Ryan shoved Benhard Janse van Rensburg off the ball as the Bears scored one of their two tries through prop Max Lahiff.

Clearly taking exception to something that had occurred whilst the Bears were celebrating the lock shoved the centre in what was a bizarre moment of frustration.

Capitalising on this, the Bears media team produced a hilarious response. Enjoy!
