First-half tries from loose forward Mat Gilbert, on his full debut, stand-off Tiff Eden, centre Max Stelling and full-back Perry Humphreys earned Warriors a comfortable interval lead.

Winger James Stephenson added a fifth try to wrap up Worcester's third win.

Eden also kicked two penalties and four conversions for an 18-point haul.
