WORCESTER Warriors will take on Aviva Premiership counterparts Wasps in a pre-season friendly at Sixways on Saturday, September 26 (3pm).

The encounter will be a first chance for supporters to see some of the new arrivals in action ahead of the 2015/16 Aviva Premiership campaign.

The last meeting between the two sides produced a nail-biting finish in March 2014, where Wasps snatched victory from the jaws of defeat as Andy Goode scored with the last kick of the game.

Dean Ryan's men will get an idea of what they'll be up against in the new season as they take on Dai Young's side – who finished sixth in the table last time out – booking a place in the European Champions Cup.

Warriors' home pre-season fixtures will be included in season ticket packages when they are launched later this month.

Further pre-season fixtures will be confirmed at a later date.
