Bristol will draft in an experienced core of players for Saturday’s British and Irish Cup semi-final at Pontypridd.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Head coach Paul Hull saw his side humiliated 81-13 in their final play-off game at Worcester and criticised their attitude in that outing.<\/p>\n

In response he will bring in Ed Barnes, Junior Fatialofa, Dan Montagu, James Merriman, Mark Irish, Dave Blaney and Iain Grieve for the Sardis Road trip.<\/p>\n

“They’re going to put some steel back into our game,” Hull told BBC Bristol.<\/p>\n

“They weren’t involved last week and that was a deliberate ploy to rest them so they’re fresh for this week. They’re fresh and they’re raring to go.”<\/p>\n

Ponty are going for a treble having won through to the Principality Premiership play-offs after finishing top of the table in the regular season and will face Aberavon in the Swalec Cup final.<\/p>\n

In addition they have won their last 21 games at home.<\/p>\n

“This is what you play rugby for,” added Hull. “The team I’ve picked like this challenge and this is a senior group going to do a job.”<\/p>\n

You can listen to commentary of Bristol’s match at Pontypridd on BBC Radio Bristol and on the BBC Sport website on Saturday from 1430 BST.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
