Richie Vernon created the first try when he charged through the middle before the ball was recycled and Scotland stand-off Dan Parks spun the wide spun ball wide to Fa’atau, who finished with aplomb.

The Warriors scored their second late on after the impressive Max Evans - playing in an unfamiliar outside-centre role - off-loaded to Beattie, who crashed over.

Former Scotland centre Lineen said: “When we were good, we were very good.

“I was very impressed with all the new young guys like Richie Gray, Ruaridh Jackson and Jon Welsh, who all made a significant contribution.”
