WORCESTER Warriors hooker Austin Wallis returned to London Scottish and crossed over for a hattrick against his former side.
Wallis, who spent three seasons with London Scottish prior to joining Worcester Warrior, opened the scoring – spotting a gap and taking a quick pick-and-go to stun the defensive line and race home.
He would go on to cross over twice more – both through a driving maul – as Warriors ran away with a 10-try, 7-66 away victory.

“(It is) class to come back here and put a performance in on them,” said Wallis after the game.
“Matt Kvesic (Worcester Warriors captain) just said 66 points away isn’t an easy feat, so to do that was class. We’ve still got a lot of work-ons but really, really happy to be back.”
Wallis added that he feels the work of the forward pack both against Scottish and the week prior against Doncaster Knights had contributed to victory.
“One of the things we’ve really worked on is our forward pack,” explained the hooker. “Our set piece had a blip a few weeks back but we’ve sorted that.
“We got five scrum penalties last week and then getting three maul tries this week really showed what we’ve worked on. I think our scrum has been class.”
Warriors will return home next Saturday (February 21) to host Caldy – a side they beat in the final play in the reverse fixture, thanks to a diving Jake Garside try.
Wallis said: “Caldy will be a big game, great to have them at home, really excited for that.
“They’ve obviously got a big pack as well so hopefully we front-up and perform then too.”
