Playing rugby on the Suspension Bridge

By Bristol24/7  Tuesday Jul 14, 2015

The Rugby World Cup trophy visited Bristol on Tuesday and to celebrate, former England captain Lawrence Dallaglio punted a ball through the Leigh Woods arch of the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

It could possibly be the best bit of skill on the bridge since a Japanese juggler called Mr GB Zanetto caught a turnip thrown from the bridge in a fork held in his teeth in 1896.
