Bristol Bears to face Crusaders (www.bristolbearsrugby.com)

Got to give Bristol credit here - yes, it's likely to be 2nd teams that run out for this, but they're making a good event of Rugby in Bristol - getting games against the Springboks, Barbars, and now the Crusaders. A great way to get the "casual" fans in, as opposed to another match against Sale in a noddy cup (for example, no disrespect to Sale, it's just that Bris seem to play them 10 times a season!).

Bristol have been doing a lot on that front -- and while I'm sure we'll get walloped by the crusaders, these events are having an effect. My work, for instance, had a social a couple of weeks ago to go and see a Bristol game, which I can't see happening back when we were in the championship

That's awesome an awesome way to connect the two leagues and get crossover from one league to the other if there isn't already. It would be cool if the MLR did this with the Six Nations.
