Bristol coach Richard Hill speaks to ERCrugby.com ahead of his side's trip to Viadana
Bristol Rugby have sprung a number of surprises and ambushes since returning to the top flight in England this season - and coach Richard Hill is looking for more of the same as the European Challenge Cup returns with the West Country team travelling to take on Viadana on Friday night.
"We have got a chance of going through to the knock-out stages and these next two games against Viadana will determine how we look at the final two matches in January, against Narbonne and Northampton Saints.
"We went to Narbonne and got a bonus point while we beat Northampton comfortably at home so, if we can win home and away against Viadana, there is every chance we could get through to the quarter-finals.
"The majority of the side who played against the Ospreys will go to Italy.
"If we can get something from the game in Viadana then I will bring back other players for the home game the week after. I just hope that this team can go and win in Viadana as there were some good things that came out of the game against the Ospreys."
