But otherwise it was a Warriors try fest with replacement Max Stelling stealing the limelight with a try hat-trick that took just six minutes in the closing stages with the Spaniards out on their feet.

The points and try avalanche easily beat the club's old marks of 68 points and 10 tries as the Premiership club ran riot.

Worcester, tournament finalists in 2008, may expect tougher days at the office when they clash with Perpignan in the back-to-back ties in Rounds 3 and 4 but this was simply one-way traffic.

While Stelling stepped in with his late hat-trick, wing Andy Short and scrum half Paul Hodgson had each earlier claimed a brace with outside-half Joe Carlisle posting 25 points with a try and 10 conversions.
