WORCESTER Warriors will take on 2014/15 Aviva Premiership champions Saracens away in a pre-season clash on Saturday, October 3 (venue to be confirmed).

The game will kick-off at 1pm as Dean Ryan's men go toe-to-toe with one of the country's elite sides in another tasty pre-season encounter, after the Club last month announced a home pre-season match against Wasps on Saturday 26 September at Sixways.

Chief Executive Jim O'Toole said: "Taking on the Premiership champions in pre-season will be a fantastic test for the team as they continue their preparations for the new season.

"We've had a superb away following in the last year and this trip will allow those with away day withdrawal symptoms a chance to prepare for the excitement of the coming campaign."
