Bath trounced Mogliano to extend their lead at the top of Pool Two.

The hosts had the bonus point wrapped up inside 30 minutes, with a Matt Garvey brace and further scores by Matt Banahan, George Ford and a penalty try handing them a 29-0 lead at the break.

Bath continued to dominate after the interval, running in a further six tries to complete an emphatic win.

Banahan took his tally to four, while Carl Fearns and two tries by Olly Woodburn completed the scoring.

Mogliano's failure to register a single point means they have scored fewer than any other team in this season's Challenge Cup and leaves them bottom of their pool.
