Worcester Warriors has met an RFU deadline to provide safety assurances and as a result their Gallagher Premiership match against Exeter Chiefs will go ahead on Sunday at Sixways.
Financially-troubled Warriors needed to provide assurances in relation to the receipt of a General Safety Certificate from the local authority and written confirmation of medical provision, or face being suspended from all competitions.
Having met the 12pm deadline set by the RFU, two matches will take place at Sixways this weekend.
Worcester Warriors’ fixture against Harlequins Women in the Allianz Cup will take place on Saturday, before the Chiefs arrive on Sunday for a Gallagher Premiership encounter.
The RFU statement also stated: “We recognise this has been a difficult and uncertain time for all of Worcester Warriors players, staff and fans as well as the opposition teams and are pleased that the matter has been resolved.
“The RFU, Premiership Rugby and DCMS will continue to work with Worcester Warriors owners regarding funding and potential new ownership proposals in the coming days.”
