With bottom club Leeds Carnegie the visitors to Kingsholm next Saturday, another bonus point win would edge Gloucester towards a home game in next month's title play-offs.

Heineken Cup semi-finalists Saracens though, saw their play-off hopes effectively disappear as fly-half Lamb ran the show.

Lamb scored 19 points, including two tries in three minutes at the start of a one-sided second period, as Gloucester romped home.

They finished with six tries - centre James Simpson-Daniel, flanker Akapusi Qera, wing Lesley Vainikolo and scrum-half Rory Lawson also touched down - but it could have been more, such was their dominance.

The visitors claimed two injury-time consolation tries - centre Adam Powell and number eight Ben Skirving were the scorers - while Glen Jackson kicked a penalty and Gordon Ross booted a conversion, but they were outclassed.

Gloucester's lead at the top could be cut by title rivals Bath, Harlequins or Leicester during the next three days, yet they could take some dislodging from pole position.
