It won't be a full-time move for the Scotland full-back but it shows he can provide cover when it's required.

"I felt it went all right," said Stuart in the Herald. "It's not my first position, it's different, but you've got to adapt and the communication from guys around me was outstanding, which helps. I felt I was a wee bit rusty at times but I was happy to get a wee shot at ten.

"In the last three or four games I've been covering ten, but nothing happened to Finn [Russell, who had started there], so I wasn't needed.

"If you are covering then it's good to have some confidence that you can do the job. I'm aware of the structure and the plays we're trying to do, so it made sense from that point of view. I just tried to do my best for the guys around me and the team."

Warriors did look like they had let the victory slip when Treviso levelled the scores with five minutes left. However, the Warriors kept their cool and a well-worked try by Rory Clegg clinched the bonus-point win.

"It shows the character we have that we did stick at it," said Stuart. "As they kept coming back and then levelled you get into a period where you could think it isn't going to be your day, but I don't think we were ever going to let it go.

"We stuck to it, kept working for each other and we got the reward with a lovely break by Sean [Lamont] and Tommy Seymour], and Rory [Clegg] finishing it off.

"That also shows the benefit of a good squad. We knew we had a strong bench. Boys know when they play that they can empty themselves, because we have good quality boys who can come on and finish the job.

"We were too keen at times, maybe, getting a bit flat in our structure and that led to knocking ball on or making mistakes at the breakdown. We saw that on the pitch and just said to ourselves to learn from the mistakes and keep holding our depth, fire into them hard, and carry hard. When we did that we created chances and scored some good tries."

The win sends Warriors into the New Year with a surge of confidence, with four consecutive wins but some important games to come.

"These are exciting times for the club," added Stuart. "We're in a good place heading into the New Year, plenty to work on but plenty to take confidence from too.

"There are always lessons in pro sport and we've come home with more, but that's what the game is about - learning lessons, using them to improve and pushing on. Building on this win is all we're thinking about now as we start to prepare again for Cardiff coming to Scotstoun [on Saturday].
