Shane Monahan scored four tries as Gloucester cruised to a 47-3 bonus point victory over London Irish at Kingsholm - and opened up a commanding seven points lead over their Premiership rivals at the top of the group.
The Cherry and Whites eased to victory and completed the double over Brian Smith's men following last weekend's comeback heroics.
The hosts opened the scoring with an early Freddie Burns penalty, the newly capped England fly-half carrying on from where he finished last weekend with the boot.
Tom Homer levelled things with a penalty of his own for London Irish but Burns responded with a second strike after 23 minutes.
Two quick tries in succession from Monahan on 35 and 40 minutes took Gloucester away before the break.
Full back Rob Cook added a third try just three minutes into the second period and Burns added the conversion as he had done with the previous to scores.
Monahan wrapped up his hat trick and his side's bonus point as the game entered the final quarter and Burns' boot took the scores to 37-3.
The winger inflicted more pain on Irish with his fourth 10 minutes from time and he was closely followed over the line by replacement scrum half Dan Robson.
