Flying Fijians wing, Semi Radradra inspired Bristol Bears to a 33-24 bonus-point Premiership win in the West Country derby at Gloucester.
Radradra set up early tries for Max Malins and Henry Purdy before Harry Thacker powered over.
Radradra scored the fourth try as Bristol did the damage in the first half.

Victory keeps the second-placed Bears eight points behind league leaders Exeter, and Bristol will have a chance to close that gap when they host the Chiefs on Wednesday.
Radradra had a subdued debut against Saracens last weekend, but the centre showed his class as Bristol tore through the Gloucester defence to secure a bonus point within the first half hour.

The 28-year-old had a hand in the fifth-minute opener for full-back Malins, and his swift break and stunning offload created the second for Purdy four minutes later.
Radradra's first Premiership try came when he burst through the Gloucester defence from 10 metres out and barrelled over after evading Lewis Ludlow's tackle.
