EP 219 - Time to tame the Tigers (again) and news from in and around the club

The main event is the Jake Heenan interview where we chat to him about his rugby career which of course included seven years and over 100 appearances for Bristol Bears. We also discuss his relationship with Pat from his time as a youngster in the Auckland Blues Academy through to the title winning Connacht side of 2016 and finally his successful stint in Bristol. He provides great insight into the ups and downs of a pro rugby player but also demands recognition for the selfless way that he gave up his contract here in order to free up cap space for Tom Jordan and Louis Rees-Zamitt!Joking aside it was a very interesting 30 mins or so which we hope that listeners will enjoy.Prior to that we also discuss the recent Prem Cup games, the emergence of Bears players in England A and (and senior) squads (up the Klosk!) and reaffirm our belief that it was us who started the famous &apos;Gengey&apos;s coming home chant&apos;.All that and more with Pete, Lee and Miles and a few cheeky beers provided by the Bristol Beer Factory Taproom via the ever generous Lewis.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/617611/fan_mail/new">Let us know what you think!</a>
