Christian Wade scored a hat-trick of tries as Gloucester claimed a remarkable 44-41 Gallagher Premiership victory over west country rivals Bristol at Ashton Gate. Gloucester looked home and dry when they led by 19 points with only 15 minutes left, but three quickfire Bristol tries tied things up before full-back George Barton held his nerve to kick a 78th-minute penalty.
Bristol were in self-destruct mode as Naulago and Randall collected yellow cards just two minutes apart and Gloucester punished them immediately when skipper Tomos Williams kicked cleverly into space and his half-back partner Anscombe caught a kind bounce to score. Barton's third conversion took Gloucester past 20 points in front of England head coach Steve Borthwick and his Wales counterpart Warren Gatland, with Bristol having been blitzed by three tries in 16 minutes.
