Rugby in Bristol

If you're a rugby fan then you'll easily find a rugby match in Bristol or the surrounding cities to watch a high-standard game of rugby. The Bristol Bears play in the RFU Championship, the UK's second tier of national league rugby. They play their home matches at Ashton Gate Stadium, which is also home to Bristol City Football Club.

Not far away is Bath Rugby, who are in the Premiership division and play other top teams in the country, including London Welsh, London Irish, Harlequins and Leinster). Bath is just 12 miles away from Bristol and easily accessible on the train (10-15 minutes journey time) from Temple Meads, which is in the city centre of Bristol.

Alternatively, you can cross over the border to Wales and the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff where they host any number of international rugby matches. Visit the website for up-to-date fixture listings.
