Scotland trailed 21-3 at the interval - part of the country’s Rugby World Cup preparation – before producing 22 unanswered points to take the victory.

Edinburgh will face ASM Clermont Auvergne, Castres Olympique, Gloucester Rugby and Georgian side Black Lion in Pool 3 this season as they look to go one better than there 2015 EPCR Challenge Cup campaign where they finished runners-up.

Elsewhere, Wales overcame England 20-9 at the Principality Stadium backed by 15 points from the Scarlets duo of Gareth Davies and Leigh Halfpenny. Davies crossed the whitewash, while Halfpenny slotted 10 points from the tee.

Scarlets have also been drawn in Pool 3 alongside Edinburgh Rugby, and will face the same quartet of teams. Scarlets and Edinburgh won’t face each other as they both represent the United Rugby Championship (URC) in the competition.

Ospreys’ George North notched the other try for the Welsh in the contest.

Meanwhile, Italy lost out 33-17 to Ireland – Zebre Parma’s Lorenzo Pani and Benetton Rugby’s Tommaso Menoncello dotting down. Harlequins’ fly-half Tommaso Allan added seven points in the kicking game.

The Edinburgh Rugby trio of Darcy Graham, Pierre Schoeman and Dave Cherry – who will battle for EPCR Challenge Cup glory in 2023-24 - scored in Scotland’s come-from-behind victory over France in the Autumn Internationals.
