The visitors made another rapid start after the break and Rachel Lund scythed through defenders to score before Emma Sing touched down for the bonus point and Ellie Underwood added two more tries.

Bristol remain at the top of the table, with Saracens able to overtake the Bears if they beat DMP Durham Sharks on Sunday, and Gloucester-Hartpury have moved up to fifth.

Round 10 games between Wasps and Loughborough and Harlequins and Worcester were postponed because of Covid-19 cases among players and will be rearranged.

The BBC Sport website will stream the round 11 fixture between Exeter and Harlequins at 14:30 GMT on Sunday, 16 January.
