BRISTOL acting head coach Mark Tainton has made one change from the side which secured two bonus points in an heroic defeat to Exeter last week as the Aviva Premiership's bottom team host top-of-the-table Wasps at Ashton Gate on Easter Sunday (3pm KO).

Nick Fenton-Wells starts in the back row in place of the injured Jack Lam, while Ryan Edwards – who signed a new contract earlier in the week – is named on the wing.

Time is running out for Bristol to perform a miracle and not only beat the in-form league leaders but take a bonus point off them if they are to survive the relegation trap door.

But Tainton is not giving up yet and said: “We’re looking to reproduce the same attitude and commitment that we showed at Sandy Park against a strong Wasps outfit.

“The challenge is still going to be massive against Wasps, but if we can produce some of our own attacking style, while showing the same discipline and physicality in defence, there will be opportunities for us.”

Olly Robinson and Tusi Pisi recover from injury to be included among the replacements.
