YORKSHIRE Carnegie forward Matt Smith says he and his team-mates have a big week in front of them as they prepare for the visit of Greene King IPA Championship leaders Bristol on Sunday, February 28.

Smith, who played all of the 34-28 home defeat to Doncaster Knights on Saturday, said: "We haven't got a game this weekend but all the boys are in and we will be working hard.

"It is frustrating to lose another close game but we know what we need to do. Bristol will be fully prepared for us and we need to be ready for them."
