Try-hungry Quins collected a bonus point before half-time after touchdowns from wing Ugo Monye (2), centre Gonzalo Tiesi and full-back Mike Brown. Three of those scores came during a devastating five-minute spell when the Warriors defence was blown apart.

Quins fly-half Chris Malone added two penalties and two conversions, leaving Worcester heading into a six-week Premiership break just four points above bottom club Bristol.

Matthew Jones did his utmost to keep Warriors in the contest, contributing 18 points that included a well-worked try, while wing Miles Benjamin crossed early in the second half.

But Quins, who moved into the Premiership's top four, three points behind leaders Bath, were not to be denied.
