Bristol Bears Rugby

Ben Spencer is set to make his starting debut for England against New Zealand, transitioning from a bench role to first-choice scrumhalf due to injuries. His dedication has been recognized through consistent performances, notably with Saracens and Bath, where he has formed a strong partnership with flyhalf Marcus Smith. Meanwhile, Bristol Bears’ upcoming Premiership Rugby Cup match against Ampthill has been rescheduled to allow fans to watch England's match against Japan. The Dragons have shown slight improvement in their performance statistics this season despite struggling in several matches, and they are hopeful for better results in the upcoming derby against Cardiff. Lastly, the U.S. women's rugby team secured a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, which raises expectations for future competitions, including the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The revival of Rugby X, an engaging fast-paced format, is also suggested as a way to promote rugby further in the U.S.
