Northampton finished as the second-ranked side in the European Challenge Cup group stages after keeping up their 100 per cent record in the competition with a routine 52-11 victory over Toulon.

Number eight Mark Easter, brother of England forward Nick, scored in either half to set the Saints on their way to a fifth bonus point at Franklin's Gardens.

Jim Mallinder's men moved through the gears in the second half, adding six tries including braces for wing Chris Ashton and prop Soane Tonga'uiha.

Fly-half Stephen Myler claimed an impressive 18-point haul including a try, five conversions and a penalty.

Myler and David Vidal exchanged early penalties but Toulon were on the back foot after scrum-half Matthew Henjak was sin-binned after 24 minutes.

Easter scored a pushover try for the opener three minutes later but the visitors hit back through skipper Mafileo Kefu's try to reduce the lead to 10-8 at the break.

But Northampton applied the pressure in the second half and after Tonga'uiha added the third try in the 42nd minute, the Tongan and Ashton scored again after Myler's touch down.
