Bristol Bears remain on course for a play-off place with a 49-24 win at Sale Sharks as the Premier 15s resumed after the Women's Six Nations.

Keira Bevan, Ella Lovibond, Sarah Bern, Deborah Wills and Phoebe Murray also crossed, with Bevan kicking four goals and Elinor Snowsill adding three more.

Hollie Bawden's hat-trick was little consolation for the home side.

Elsewhere, England international Ellie Kildunne scored four tries as fifth-placed Harlequins kept the pressure on Bristol by thrashing bottom side Wasps 80-7, with Lauren Torley also scoring twice.

Worcester Warriors ran out comfortable 48-7 winners over DMP Sharks with two tries apiece for Carys Cox and Lydia Thompson.
