Leeds ran in seven tries against Calvisano - including a hat-trick for full-back Leigh Hinton - in a 45-5 win.

Tom Biggs scored after four minutes, as did Hinton moments later.

Back row John Dunbar was the next on to the scoresheet. Former Italy A fly-half Alberto di Bernardo added five conversions in all.

Sale are now the only side in the tournament with a perfect 15 points out of 15 after three rounds after Saturday's 51-12 mauling of Bayonne.

Chris Mayor and Rory Lamont both grabbed try doubles in France as the Sharks ran in eight tries in all.

Former England back-rower Pat Sanderson scored a 20-minute hat-trick of tries as Worcester crushed GRAN Parma 50-0 in awful conditions at Sixways.

The eight-try win gives the Warriors an almost unassailable lead in Pool Two, and with 14 points from a possible 15 they are on target for a home quarter-final in April.

On Friday Newcastle lost 16-13 on their trip to Irish province Connacht.

Jonny Wilkinson converted Tom May's first-half try and hit two penalties but Connacht kept in touch through a converted Conor O'Loughlin try.

Fly-half Andy Dunne dropped a goal to level at 13-13, and slotted a late penalty to seal the win and narrow the gap to the Falcons, the pool leaders.

Bath beat minnows Albi 26-18 to lead Pool One with three wins out of three.

Newcastle, who gave a debut to former All Blacks prop Carl Hayman, are still odds-on to top Pool Three but have games against Brive and a return match against Connacht to come.
