Bristol has won all five of the most recent meetings between the clubs, including a high-scoring 55-35 victory in January 2025.
That matchup highlighted Bristol’s attacking depth and ability to stretch games, a theme that has continued throughout the Bears' recent run of form.

Momentum entering this fixture strongly favors Bristol.
The Bears have won four of their last five matches and carry a four-game winning streak into the contest at Ashton Gate. Their recent performances have combined pace, physicality and finishing efficiency, making them one of the league’s most in-form sides.
Newcastle, meanwhile, has won two of its last five games and arrives looking to rebound after a 50-14 loss to Bath in its most recent PREM outing.
With Bristol rolling and Newcastle searching for stability, this matchup presents a clear test of form and execution. Bristol will look to extend both its winning streak and its dominance in the rivalry, while Newcastle aims to regroup and challenge a side that has consistently controlled this fixture.
