Uren set for 150th competitive appearance

Homegrown scrum half Andy Uren is set for his 150th competitive appearance for the club against Saracens on Saturday - here's some of his Bristol highlights so far.


Gala debut

Uren made his debut as a 16-year-old in 2013, while still studying at SGS Filton College, as Bristol thrashed Gala at the Memorial Stadium in the British & Irish Cup. The scrum half was a 79th-minute replacement in a 62-7 win. 

Play-off glory

A first league try arrived in May 2016, as Bristol stormed to a 45-19 victory over Bedford Blues in the GKIPA Championship play-off semi final first leg. 

On as second-half replacement, Uren intercepted a pass at the back of the lineout before outstripping the Bedford defence to race in from 70 metres.

Premiership debut

Uren made his Premiership debut for his boyhood club on the final day of the 2016/17 season in a 27-39 defeat at the hands of Newcastle Falcons at Ashton Gate. The scrum-half replaced Alby Mathewson on 59 minutes.

High five

A record-breaking five-try display against Enisei thrust Uren into the European Rugby record books in January 2019, as the Bears scored 17 times in a 107-19 demolition of Enisei-STM in the Challenge Cup.

Uren's try-scoring exploits saw him become only the third Englishman to score five times in a Challenge Cup match, after Matt Dawson and Daren O'Leary.

Derby demolition 

Man of the match in a West Country derby demolition of Bath is about as good as it gets for a Bristolian lad.

Uren scored his side's third try in a record-breaking 48-3 victory before being awarded man of the match by the BT Sport pundits.
