UK Redsox:
I see that Bristol Rugby are now "Bristol Bears".
When did that happen..... why did that happen ?
Have they named themselves after the defunct American Football team from the Cotswolds ?

Most of the sides have done it to be fair, there's only really Gloucester and Bath who haven't gone that route. Saracens, Wasps, Saints, Chiefs, Tigers, Sharks and Falcons are all pretty recognisable (the last 2 are probably the least well known).
UK Redsox:
We (The Mighty Lyd) have unofficially been 'The Tinplaters', 'The Severnsiders' and 'The Elvereaters'

First game of the season, Bristol v bath, not much in it, Bath look a bit unprepared, Bristol came out the blocks hard. Homer butchered one of the simplest finishes you'll ever see to stop Bath taking the lead, Cokanasiga pulled off a brilliant tackle to save one at the other end. Better game than the 6-0 scoreline suggests.
UK Redsox:
I watched the second half of the Bristol v Bath game and was impressed with the home team. However, Bath's handling was terrible at times.
Meanwhile down in Level 6 of the league structure (Tribute South West 1 West), the worst Lydney side that I've ever seen lost at home to the worst Launceston side I've ever seen.
If we'd have been this crap 25 years ago, I'd have been a 1st XV regular.
