This time the hosts reinforced their scoreboard advantage with replacement scrum-half Adam McKenzie, a National Talent Pathway (NTP) player out of Watsonians, darting from the base of a ruck to extend his team’s lead to 28-19 and underlining the capital side’s dominance in the third quarter.
Edinburgh added some late polish to the scoreline when replacement Calum Jessop of Heriot’s finishing off a sweeping attack, before Warriors grabbed a consolation score through Brent Jackson, converted by Urwin.
