Bristol Bears went on yet another scoring rampage as they comprehensively beat Stade Francais Paris 37-11 in Pool 4 of the European Rugby Challenge Cup.
Stade broke the deadlock thanks to Lester Etien after 18 minutes – but six minutes later Ian Madigan’s penalty got Bears on the board.
The hosts moved ahead with a try from Luke Morahan, chipping the ball forward before touching it down, and moved ahead after Madigan converted.

Madison proved incisive all afternoon; another penalty from his boot extended their lead – but Joris Segonds kicked three points of his own shortly before the break.
Second-half tries from Harry Thacker and Charles Piutau, plus extras from Madigan and Ioan Lloyd, and another Madigan penalty, put Bears out of sight – and the bonus point was sealed with a last-gasp Toby Fricker try in the corner.

Another Segonds penalty just before the hour got Stade into double figures for the afternoon.
Bristol have now lost just two of their 12 home games against French opposition in the tournament.
