New signing Mat Turner shone on his full Bristol debut at Northampton Saints on Saturday afternoon with Bristol producing some sparkling rugby until a series of yellow cards destroyed their momentum and handed the home team a crucial initiative on their way to victory.
It had been a rough few minutes for Bristol and Turner produced a superb try saving tackle to rescue his side as Northampton went for the jugular
Turner continued to impress with a scintillating break from deep which ended with an unfortunate knock on and Iain Grieve led the way in defence with one punishing hit standing out in particular.
There were some fine individual performances but the final word has to be for winger Turner who only trained with the team twice before this match and produced a debut of real promise.
