A solid Bristol scrum close to their line gives Jordan the chance to clear to halfway.

Bordeaux send the ball wide to the left and it looks to have broken down when Louis Bielle-Biarrey fumbles, but another infringement drags play back and the reigning champions kick to touch again.

Bordeaux have too many in the line, so Bristol kick to halfway. The line-out is scrappy, and Harry Randall cannot hold the ball as he goes to ground.

I'll say 'it's like a bar of soap' now to get it out of the way.

The first scrum is near the home 22 on the right flank, and the referee immediately penalises the hosts - Bordeaux slide the kick to the corner flag.

Martin Page-Relo clears some early Bristol pressure with a kick to touch but it's still deep inside the French side's half.

Louis Rees-Zammit goes on a run to the left, but his pass to Kalaveti Ravouvou goes astray, and the slippy ball didn't help either.

Tom Jordan gets the match under way!

The teams are about to emerge on a cold and wet afternoon at Ashton Gate, kick off is very close now. Bristol have kept their opponents waiting in the tunnel - mind games, already?

Don't forget that we have coverage from Ashton Gate on Sports Extra as well, either here or via the Sounds app.

Glasgow, Sale, Leinster, Harlequins, Bordeaux, Bristol and Northampton all qualified for the last 16 last weekend.

English champions Bath thrashed Edinburgh on Friday to go through as Pool 2 winners.

Six-time winners Toulouse, who demolished an inexperienced Sale side 77-7, Stormers, Castres, Toulon and Edinburgh all reached the knockout stage on Saturday.

Leicester, who lost to Stormers in Cape Town, are still hoping to qualify but need Harlequins to beat La Rochelle and deny the French side a bonus point to make it.

Gloucester are out while Munster drop down to the Challenge Cup.

Bristol Bears head coach Pat Lam, speaking on Premier Sports: "This a final for us. I am proud of the group, it is a big challenge and we have only had the one training session (since South Africa). Everyone who plays today played in South Africa, but that is this team, they just go through all the challenges."

One thing's for certain, it'll be a bit different for the Bears today compared to last time out. A wet day near the Bristol Channel is quite far removed from the heat and altitude in Pretoria, but that didn't stop the Bears, who bested the Bulls 61-49.

Try-fest incoming?

Bristol: Rees-Zammit; Heward, Janse van Rensburg, Williams, Ravouvou; Jordan, Randall; Genge, Oghre, Kloska, Rubiolo, Batley, S Grondona, Harding (capt), Mata.

Replacements: Thacker, Lahiff, Halliwell, Owen, B Grondona, Marmion, Worsley, Moroni.

Ellis Genge, Harry Randall and Louis Rees-Zammit come back into the starting 15 as Pat Lam makes three changes for the visit of holders Bordeaux.

Noah Heward keeps his place on the wing after a first-half hat-trick in last week's 61-49 win over the Bulls while Kalavati Ravouvou is on the opposite flank after his two tries in that extraordinary 110-point game.

Fitz Harding captains the team in an unchanged back row alongside Santiago Grondona and Viliame Mata.

Bordeaux: Buros; Penaud, Depoortere, Moefana, Bielle-Biarrey; Jalibert, Page-Relo; Poirot, Lamothe (capt), Sadie, Palu, Coleman, Du Preez, Woki, Matiu.

Replacements: Sa, Boniface, Tameifuna, Cazeaux, Vergnes-Taillefer, Carbery, Janse van Rensburg, Rayasi.

Bordeaux make two changes from last week's hammering of Northampton, with full-back Salesi Rayasi on the bench despite scoring a hat-trick against Saints. He is replaced by Romain Buros, with the other switch seeing Boris Palu come into the second row.

Damian Penaud, Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Mathieu Jalibert and Cameron Woki all start.

Good afternoon!

Both teams may have qualified, but there's lots hanging on this final Pool 4 game. The winners will take top spot and be granted home advantage in the next round.
