The hosts took the advantage mere minutes after the whistle blew.
Juan Gonzalez went on a barraging run and breezed his way past four men before playing it inside to Will Lane to run home the ball, with Tiff Eden soon adding to the advantage from the conversion.
The hosts doubled their lead soon after. London Scottish won their own line-out within their half but Warriors pounced on the scraps, allowing Tim Anstee to charge through and power over, before Eden again found the sweet spot between the posts.
Warriors refused to relent. A penalty was kicked to the corner by Eden, before Billy Twelvetrees took the ball out the back of the driving maul and charged over for the third, while Eden maintained his 100 percent record from the tee.
It was four soon after. Dan Nutton was forced to kick to touch with Warriors bearing down, and the hosts quickly got it into the hands following the line-out.
Jake Garside found a gap and blew past the Scottish defence to go over once more, with Eden duly making it 28.
But they weren’t done there, and went over a fifth time just three minutes later. Louis Brown played a long pass out wide, before racing through to receive it back from Tom Seabrook, touching down in the corner.
Scottish clawed one back before the break, taking advantage of a numbers overload out wide to send Noah Ferdinand through in the corner.
Fraser Honey matched Eden’s flawless conversion record to bring the deficit down to 28.
A tighter start to the second half saw Warriors held off early on.
However they would find their way through. Repeated phases of attempted drives over the whitewash saw replacement front rower Livai Natave ultimately come good, powering through the defensive line for the host’s sixth of the evening.
Scottish continued to fight despite the deficit and soon went over for the second time, with Harry Clayton coming up with the goods from a driving maul, while Tom Wilstead added the extras.
But Warriors got one back of their own mere seconds later. Making an instant impact off the bench, replacement Will Reed spotted a gap and flew through to cross the whitewash under the posts before converting his own try.
Each side went over once more before the final whistle blew.
The driving maul paid dividends again for Scottish, with Jack Wright this time providing the goods. Louis Brown answered back with the final play of the match, gliding through a gap in the defensive line and crossing over to confirm the dominant win.
