ran in nine tries to secure a bonus-point win against Worcester at home.

Phoebe Murray and Lark Davies both scored doubles, while Grace White, Ella Lovibond, Claire Molloy, Keira Bevan and Gabriella Nigrelli all went over.

Quick hands and a break from Molloy led to the Bears opening the scoring through White ten minutes in.

A big carry from Row Marston set Murray up for her first on the 20-minute mark. Davies came up to claim her first off the back of a rolling maul. Two minutes later, Lovibond made the break from her own half and cruised over to claim the bonus point.

Reed weaved her way through defenders and offloaded to Molloy, who sidestepped a few tackles to score. But the Warriors replied through Elizabeth Shermer to leave the score at half-time 31-5.

The visitors scored first in the second half via Cara Brincat, but the Bears went on to dominant. The forwards went through the phases before

Davies scored her second. Bevan caught Warriors napping and cruised over from five metres out.

Murray scored her second with 20 minutes left, before a Holly Phillips offload sent Nigrelli over on her return to action.
