Worcester boosted their hopes of making the knockout stages of the European Challenge Cup with an emphatic win over Russian side Enisei-STM.
Ollie Lawrence's first-half hat-trick set Worcester on their way after Scott van Breda's early opener was cancelled out by Earll Dowrie's try and five points from Ramil Gaisin's boot.
Marco Mama, Jamie Shillcock and Isaac Miller scored soon after the break.
Noah Heward's double and Will Butler's try added gloss to the win.
Worcester will host French side Castres, the group leaders, next week in what, to all intents and purposes, looks set to be a Pool One eliminator.
Warriors sit third, level on 15 points with second-placed Welsh side Dragons, who will be expected to win at home to Enisei in their final group game.
Only the group winners are assured of a place in the knockout stages with the three second-placed sides boasting the best records across the five groups joining them.
