Catt helps Bath to top of pool

Bath continued to defy poor Premiership form by reeling off another Pool Three victory, beating Edinburgh 37-6 at Myreside through tries from Mike Catt, Tom Voyce, Gavin Thomas and Matt Perry, who finished with 22 points.

Biarritz, strongly fancied before the competition began, saw their quarter-final hopes effectively end after they crashed 15-10 against Pool Three hosts Swansea. Arwel Thomas was Swansea's hero, kicking five penalties, but his team have still not scored a try in Europe this term. Stade Francais took a firm grip on Pool Two, making it three wins out of three by destroying Ulster 40-11 in Paris. Ulster, without injured fly half David Humphreys, had no answer to Stade's adventurous style that yielded tries for Fabien Galthie, Sylvain Marconnet, Sylvain Jonnet and Christophe Dominici.
