Bath have secured a comfortable 50-30 win over Gloucester Rugby in their final game of the regular Aviva Premiership season.
Three tries in the first 30 minutes from Kyle Eastmond, George Ford and Sam Burgess put the home side in control, but a Steve McColl effort just before the break kept Gloucester in contention at half time.
Gloucester captain Nick Wood was sent to the sin bin early in the second half for collapsing the scrum, allowing Ollie Devoto to dive over moments later.
The visitors managed to add to the score while still down to 14, though, as a pass inside set up McColl for his second of the match as he jogged in under the posts.
Bath finished the match strongly to put the win beyond doubt though, with Anthony Watson, Semesa Rokoduguni and Horacio Agulla all adding to the score late on.
The result ensures that Bath finish second in the table, while Gloucester finish ninth.
