In a bruising encounter against the Exiles, the Bears scored four tries courtesy of Sam Worsley, Ollie Thraves, Isaac Campbell Wu and Arthur Davis to make it four wins from four.
It was a game of back and forth in the first half with both teams creating scoring opportunities. The Bears struck first inside the opening five minutes after some nice interplay created a gap for fly-half Sam Worsley to step his man and canter under the posts.
The try was soon cancelled out by a nice finish from London Irish, before the Bears asserted their dominance up-front with Ollie Thraves dropping over the line from a well worked maul.
Following another levelling score from Irish, Worsley’s penalty on 30 minutes edged the Bears in front, and some powerful goal line defence kept the Exiles out on the stroke of half time.
The second 40 saw the Bears dominate territory, where eventually their patience was rewarded in the form of two quick-fire tries.
Isaac Campbell Wu dotted down for a neat finish after sidestepping two defenders, quickly followed by the bonus-point score courtesy of Arthur Davis off the back of another successful driving maul, sealing another impressive victory for the Bears.
