Elsewhere in the world, former Warriors Director of Rugby Gary Gold took charge of his first USA game as they hosted an Argentina XV, where Joe Taufete’e played 55 minutes as hooker, and Warriors teammate Andrew Durutalo came off the bench to feature in their 17-10 win on Saturday.
In the Under 20 Six Nations, Warriors Academy trio Will Butler, James Scott and Joe Morris all featured for England Under 20s in their 27-17 win over Italy in Gorizia on Friday night.
And in the Women’s Six Nations, Worcester Valkyries’ Hannah Bluck scored on her Wales debut as the women beat Scotland in an 18-17 thriller at Colwyn Bay on Friday.
