Stat attack: Wasps 23-20 Bristol Bears
Monday, November 23rd 2020
Va va Vui, Afoa's half century and Thomas' big shift. Check out the best of the match stats from Sunday's Gallagher Premiership defeat to Wasps at the Ricoh Arena.
Va va Vui
Chris Vui really is the classiest of operators. The Samaon, who lined up on the blindside flank on Sunday, was one of the Bears' standout performers at the Ricoh, starring with and without the ball.
Vui made 13 tackles, nine carries and two clean breaks, as well as winning nine lineouts - the most in the Gallagher Premiership this weekend.
Afoa's fiftieth
John Afoa continues to be a rock in the Bears front row - and the All Black World Cup winner brought up his 50th competitive appearance for the club on Sunday afternoon. Legend.
@John_Afoa is set to play his 50th competitive game for @BristolBears tomorrow, the 132nd player to reach the landmark and second oldest at 37 yrs 74 days. Gareth Llewellyn is the oldest at 38 yrs 243 days.

Dan the man
In a losing cause, Dan Thomas was a constant menace to Wasps on Sunday afternoon, putting last season's runers-up under immense pressure throughout the 80 minutes.
The openside made 15 tackles (94%) and 12 carries in a monster shift from the Welshman against an impressive Wasps back row.
