Bristol ran in three tries to claim their fifth consecutive Championship away at Rotherham Titans.

First-half tries from centre Jack Adams and hooker David Blaney gave Bristol a 10-0 half-time lead.

David Blaney scored his second try after the break to extend Bristol's lead.

Paul Hull's side were unable to score a fourth try to give them their fifth bonus-point win in as many games but remain in second place in the league.

Bristol head coach Paul Hull told BBC Radio Bristol:

"We're really pleased with winning away from home as this is a very difficult place to come.

"It was a very difficulty encounter and we have got some injuries and there are a lot of bruised bodies in the changing room.

"We just want to finish well in 2009 and we're on track, battered but still living."
