Italians Petrarca took an early lead through a Tim Walsh penalty before Charlie Hodgson levelled. It was not until the 17th minute that Brady got the first of his team's seven tries after skipper Neil Briggs charged down an attempted drop goal by Walsh to allow the youngster a straight sprint to the line.

Fit again Matthew Tait showed no ill-effects from his recent lay-off setting up tries for MacLeod and Brady, either side of Cueto's score to wrap up the bonus point before half-time.

Leading 35-6 lead at the break, Sale rung the changes but still ran in three more tries from Cueto, MacLeod and Miller, in the final minute.

The try-fest continued after the interval with Henry Trindle and Charlie Sharples getting in on the act.

Morgan and Vainikolo both grabbed their second tries, but it was May that stole the show with two more tries to seal an impressive hat-trick.

But in a worrying sight for the Shed faithful, fly-half Freddie Burns hobbled off with fifteen minutes to go after contributing a 23-point haul.

Rovigo did get on the scoreboard thanks to a German Bustos converted try.
