Valley continued their fine form with another big win to defeat Bugbrooke St Michaels and make it 12 in a row in the UCL Premier Division South.
It was another clinical display from Carl Adams's side at Birds Close, as they rushed to a four-goal lead within the opening 34 minutes thanks to strikes from Jordan Wilson, Edwin Ahenkorah and a David Kolodynski double.
Wilson was on-target again just before half-time, after the hosts had managed to pull one back, with Madundo Semahimbo grabbing Town's sixth mid-way through the second period in response to Bugbrooke's second of the afternoon.
Adams had made one enforced change to his starting eleven, with Alex Lock replacing the injured Ryan Seal in midfield, and once more Rugby made a flying start to a game - immediately threatening the home defence.
Loyiso Recci's shot to a deep Caine Elliott cross was deflected for a corner, with the resulting set-piece delivery - also from Elliott - helped on by Liam Francis to allow Wilson to bundle the ball home, after Luke English had narrowly been unable to do the same.
Town were two up on nine minutes, when Elliott surged forwards before clipping the ball across for Kolodynski to apply an audacious back heel past keeper Luke Reeve.
The home side almost grabbed themselves a lifeline when Will Glennon was twice denied by Matt Hill.
First the Town stopper pulled off a decent near post save to Glennon's connection to a Calvin Green free-kick and then from the Green corner that followed, Hill scrambled across his line to keep out Glennon's downward header.
It was soon three-nil though, when Recci's looping ball was seized upon by Kolodynski - who showed good close control before skipping past his marker to execute a calm finish past Reeve once more.
A Wilson effort was blocked, and then Ahenkorah flashed a dangerous cross into the Bugbrooke box but narrowly out of reach of his team-mates, as Valley looked to inflict further damage, with Lock and Ahenkorah also having shots blocked and Wilson just unable to finish off an English ball into the penalty area.
Freddie King did head one wide at the other end, before the goal of the game arrived on 34 minutes with a slick move started by English's long throw and subsequent one touch contributions from Kolodynski and Wilson allowed Elliott the chance to set up Ahenkorah for a low finish.
Bugbrooke pulled one back straight from the restart however, when Green helped home Kevin Shehi's cross from close range. A well-timed Recci tackle on Ben Garwood denied the hosts another shortly after, with Glennon then heading one wide from a good position.
English's low shot was saved by Reeve, before Rugby rounded off the half with their fifth as a result of another well-worked move which saw Wilson and Elliott exchanging the ball - ending with Wilson smashing it in.
The second half was generally a much less eventful affair, although Town did again start the period well when English headed Elliott's corner onto the top of the crossbar.
Hill pulled off a fine, low one-handed save to Garwood's strike from twenty yards, and Wilson tested Reeve with a volley to Hill's long punt upfield, before the only two goals of the half came in close succession.
King made it 5-2 when he took advantage of the ball falling kindly to him off Recci's midrift, and then Semahimbo scored from the bench for the second weekend on the trot by finishing off Wilson's lay-back to English's floated free-kick.
Wilson did miss on two potential opportunities to secure a second hat-trick in a Valley shirt, with Reeve off his line neatly to smother his effort when running onto another searching English long throw, and then the home keeper saved again from the striker's attempt from a tight angle after he had been set-up by sub Shay Young - who was making his debut following signing on loan from Coventry City academy earlier in the week.
The Badgers resiliently kept going until the end though despite the sizeable deficit they faced. with another Rugby sub Ben Whitehead doing well to deny George Bonifas at the back post and Hill saving again from Garwood.
Apart from a whipped cross from English which Reeve comfortably claimed, the visitors noticeably wound down in the closing stages - safe in the knowledge that another away three-pointer was in the bag.
