GLOUCESTER remain in the mix for the top four after a record 10-try thumping of sorry Bath.

Louis Rees-Zammit, twice, Chris Harris and Santiago Carreras went over as Gloucester built a 24-0 half-time lead.

But they turned on the stye after the break as their rock-bottom neighbours were ruthlessly put to the sword.

Gloucester earned their biggest-ever Premiershi­p win as Ben Morgan, Mark Atkinson, Lewis Ludlow, Ben Meehan, Jamal FordRobins­on and Matias Alemanno all crossed as Bath were whitewashe­d.

Gloucester move up to fifth and are now one point behind Northampto­n.

Head coach George Skivington said: “Probably the result of the season for everybody in the city. We wanted to deliver something impressive and the boys did that.”

Bath boss Neal Hatley said: “To come off a defeat like that is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in rugby. It’s the hardest thing most of that group has ever done in rugby.

“We looked low on confidence, that starts with the coaching group so we’ve got to look at what we can do better to help reinstall belief into them.”
