Gloucester moved firmly into contention for the knockout stage of the European Challenge Cup as they secured a bonus-point victory over Scarlets at Kingsholm.
Tries from scrum-half Caolon Englefield, flanker Jack Clement and full-back George Barton helped them lead 19-0 at half-time.
Hooker Seb Blake secured the bonus point 11 minutes into the second half before Christian Wade added the coup de grace six minutes from time.
For Scarlets, Eddie James' second-half try was their only reply on a chastening evening that saw Wales fly-half Sam Costelow forced off with a shoulder injury.
