Tigers and Worcester's Premiership Shield game cancelled just 2 hours before kick-off

By Online Editors
The game has been cancelled.

Sunday’s Premiership Rugby Shield fixture between Worcester Cavaliers and Leicester Tigers Development XV has been postponed.

Tigers had been due at Sixways for a lunchtime kick-off in the northern conference encounter, but have been forced to request a postponement due to issues with player availability, safety and injury.

The club said: "The team's next scheduled fixture in the competition is against Newcastle Falcons at Loughborough University on New Year’s Eve. Kick-off is at 1.00pm and supporters are welcome."

The Premiership Shield replaces the 'A League'.

This year’s competition consists of two conferences of six teams.
