Bristol are trying to instil a sense of calm in their camp as they approach the crucial closing stages of the inaugural Championship play-off campaign.

Paul Hull's side need to earn two points from Saturday's match at Cornish Pirates to ensure a home semi-final.

Head coach Hull told BBC Bristol: "It is a relaxed camp but they know the stakes are high.

"We must keep our feet firmly on the ground. There's other teams who still have the same goal as us."

Hull points to Bristol's progression throughout a long season as one of the keys to their success so far.

"We set our target out at the start so we don't need to keep talking about that," he added. "We know what the prize is at the end of the campaign but the next job is this Saturday.

"Then we'll deal with the semi-final when it comes. That's all we can do."
