Gloucester-Hartpury aim to do what only Saracens have done before in the Women’s Premiership and win back-to-back league titles.
Head coach Sean Lynn, who was appointed in 2020, said it would be “truly special” to be crowned champions again.
“The amount of effort that this group of players, the staff, the support staff, everybody has put in, we’ll make sure we’ll enjoy that,” he said.
“We’re just going to be us. Small things will change in our defence systems just on what Bristol will bring – very different to Exeter.
“We can adapt, we’re going to try and see if we can take Bristol out of their comfort zone.”
