Bristol <strong>Bear</strong>s<br />

Empowering ambition<br />

on and off the field<br />

If exceptional tries are what you like, you can<br />

always count on ASM Clermont Auvergne wing,<br />

Damian Penaud, to deliver. Fans witnessed<br />

some great scores in Round 1 of the Heineken<br />

Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup<br />

including Penaud’s spectacular effort against<br />

Ulster Rugby.<br />

“Great break from JJ Hanrahan to expose the<br />

opposition front row and beat him one-on-one,<br />

followed by a perfectly-timed pass to Penaud,<br />

who has the kick accuracy, speed and a worldclass<br />

finish to score a superb try,” was how BT<br />

Sport’s Sam Waburton described the score.<br />

Warburton’s verdict, combined with the public’s<br />

votes, determined the winner, and although<br />

Penaud fully deserved the accolade, it was<br />

a close call between his effort and Anthony<br />

Jelonch’s memorable try for Stade Toulousain<br />

against Cardiff Rugby.<br />

For the sixth season in a row, the Try of the<br />

Round activation is launched on the Monday<br />

after each round, and fans will also be able to<br />

vote for the Try of the Season immediately after<br />

the Finals Weekend next May.<br />

Cheslin Kolbe won the award for the best try<br />

last season, Juan Imhoff topped the poll in<br />

2019/20, then it was Maxime Médard in 2018/19,<br />

Tadhg Beirne in 2017/18, and first of all, Nick<br />

Abendanon back in 2016/17.<br />

Who will succeed all these great names of<br />

European club rugby? You can make the<br />

difference by voting for your favourite!<br />
