Dan Frost freezes out Newcastle to put dominant Bath back on top of Prem

• Newcastle 14-50 Bath

• Champions score eight tries against bottom side

Bath returned to the summit of the Prem, ruthlessly exposing the gulf between top and bottom at Kingston Park. Despite resting several front-liners, including Finn Russell, they ran in eight tries against Newcastle to bounce back emphatically from last week’s Champions Cup defeat in Toulon.

They simply had too much firepower for Newcastle who were shut out for the last 53 minutes of the game.
