Scotland stars shone in two huge Gallagher Prem wins this weekend, including a rout for Northampton Saints against Bristol Bears in a record-breaking game
The Saints ran in 14 tries against Pat Lam's side at Franklin's Gardens on Friday night, with Scotland international Rory Hutchinson helping himself to a brace and landing a conversion in the 94-33 win.
Wing George Hendy led the way with four tries as the Saints, whose defence coach Lee Radford is set to join Scotland on a full-time basis this summer, set a new English top-flight record.
The 127 points meant it was the highest scoring game in the top tier of English rugby, surpassing the previous record of 118 in Richmond's 106-12 win over Bedford in 1999.
And on Saturday, a quartet of Scots were involved for Bath as they hammered Newcastle Red Bulls 69-12 at The Rec.
Flanker Josh Bayliss and centres Cameron Redpath and Chris Harris - who is returning to Newcastle this summer - all scored tries, while Finn Russell contributed seven conversions against the league's bottom-placed club.
England wing Henry Arundell scored four of the hosts' 11 tries in a one-sided contest.
Bath's win ensured the defending champions kept the pressure on 2024 winners Saints, who are currently four points clear at the top of the table with two rounds of the regular season to play.
