Archive | News | Worcester Warriors | Official Site : New boy Black set for Warriors debut

Summer signing Adam Black is set to make his debut for Worcester Warriors when they kick off the pre-season campaign against Doncaster Knights at Sixways Stadium on Friday (kick-off 7.30pm).

Powerhouse prop Black, who arrived from Newport Gwent Dragons, is part of a 29-man squad named by Director of Rugby Mike Ruddock for the game.

Full back Chris Latham and centre Sam Tuitupou are both set to feature after making full recoveries from injuries sustained last season.

George Dixon, Calum MacRae and Ed Binham, all currently on trial at Sixways, are also selected with Ruddock aiming to rotate his team at half-time and give the majority of his first team squad some game time.

Tickets are available on the night for just £5 and will gain supporters admittance to the stadium with selected stands open.

Season Ticket holders and Debentures will gain free entry to the game.

Fans are advised that the Park and Ride system will be in operation tomorrow night and also for the Ulster Rugby game on Friday, August 28.

Premiership Rugby today announced an extension of their partnership with the UK's largest insurance company, Aviva, for a further three years. The contract extension, which starts in the 2014-15 season, will cover a golden era for club rugby in England and will include a period when the country will host a Rugby World Cup and when rugby union will finally rejoin the Olympic movement.

Not only are the great and the good of the Aviva Premiership Rugby strutting their stuff at Twickenham this Saturday - so are the new generation of rugby players, including Worcester RFC, courtesy of the Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup.
