WORCESTER Warriors will travel to Jersey for a pre-season friendly in August.

The match takes place on Saturday, August 20 - six days before the squad travel to Munster.

Warriors last faced Jersey in March 2015 during their Greene King IPA Championship promotion campaign – a game which ended with the Islanders snatching victory with a late drop-goal.

Jersey were one of only two teams to defeat Warriors in the Championship.

Dean Ryan’s Aviva Premiership squad will be keen to prove how far they have come since then when the two sides meet.

Ryan said: “Jersey is a tough place to go as we found out during the 2014/15 Championship season.

“It’ll be a challenge for us to go overseas and apply ourselves against a well-drilled side.”

The kick-off time for the match will be announced in due course.
