Number Crunch: Shark Week

• Charles Piutau has made more offloads than any other player when he has turned out for the Bears, moving the ball out of the contact area 18 times.
• Andy Uren has made more metres (121) and more clean breaks (five) in a single than any other scrum half in this Premiership season (round six vs Gloucester).
• Sparking the Bears’ attack from the half-back positions, both Harry Randall and Callum Sheedy have made two try assists so far this season – the highest total of anyone in the Bristol Bears squad.
• The Sale Sharks have enjoyed a period of dominance over Bristol Bears in recent seasons, winning four of their last five against the West Country side.
