Bath qualified for the European Champions Cup courtesy of a thumping victory over leaders Saracens on the final day of the Premiership campaign.

Tom Dunn scored a hat-trick at The Rec as the hosts ran in nine tries to lift the Blue, Black and Whites up to eighth place on points difference.

A much-changed Sarries side led 24-21 after a see-saw first half but Bath crossed six times after the restart.
