Reading's all-important equaliserarrived after the break when centre Darius Williams broke through and fedlock Carl Mackie who ploughed over with two defenders on his back.Duncan missed a couple of penalties but he atoned with some judiciouskicking from hand which penned Bristol in their 22 and forced them tolaunch desperate and unsuccessful late attempts to snatch victory.
