Newport Gwent Dragons won back-to-back matches against Italian newcomers Rugby Mogliano as they made light of hugely challenging conditions at Rodney Parade to romp home with a bonus point 53-3 Round 4 win that takes them level with Bayonne on 11 points but five adrift of group pacesetters London Wasps.
The Dragons had returned from Italy a week earlier with a 33-0 win under their belts but now they face tougher times in the New Year with their trip to Bayonne and welcoming Wasps to Wales.
And Lewis Evans' team - the flanker in fine rampaging man-of-the-match form - had the bonus point under lock and key shortly before the break, lock Andrew Coombes charging down an attempted clearance and popping the ball up for supporting scrum half Wayne Evans to dive over in the corner.
The match started as something of the Daniel Evans show, the outside half scoring the first try after just six minutes, converting himself and then adding a penalty goal.
Wing Michael Poole won his won kick-and-chase for the next before their superior scrum power earned the forwards a penalty try as the Rugby Mogliano eight disintegrated as they were sent into rapid retreat.
It took the Dragons until midway through the second period to score again, centre Patrick Leach set free to stroll over with the over-worked Mogliano defence nowhere in sight.
The wilting visiting defence was then split by replacement Jonathan Evans but the spirit was still strong as they tried to put pressure on the Dragons line - only for replacement prop Phil Price to profit from a Dragons break-out and Jack Dixon wrap it up in injury time with the last.
