Bristol made it 10 consecutive Championship wins as they ran in four tries to beat Plymouth Albion.

Sam Giddens and Lee Robinson touched down to give Bristol 12-8 half-time lead in response to a Kieron Hallet penalty and a Ben Mercer try.

After the break, Hallet added a second penalty for Plymouth before Luke Eves went over for Bristol's third try.

Bristol secured a bonus-point victory in the closing minutes with a fourth try from Junior Fatialofa.

Bristol head coach Paul Hull told BBC Radio Bristol:

"They're a tough team and I think they've beaten all the top six teams apart from us.

"We were held up over the line three times and we probably bombed a few try-scoring opportunities.

"They came here to defend our driving game, which they did, so I'm glad we managed to score tries outside that area."

Bristol: L Arscott; L Robinson, L Eves, S Giddens, T Arscott, A Jarvis, J Spice (C); M Irish, D Blaney, D Crompton, M Sambucetti, N Budgett, I Grieve, R Pennycook, J Phillips. Replacements: R Johnston, W Thompson, M Vunipola, D Barry, J Miller, R Shaw, J Fatialofa
