JOHN Brain lamented Worcester Rugby Club's Powergen Cup third round draw after being paired with either Bracknell or Redruth away from home.

The Sixways director of rugby said the club were looking forward to a cup run but would have preferred a home draw in the October 19 fixture.

"That is the main downside to it," he said. "That can happen though, it is a cup draw and there is a 50 per cent chance you will be drawn away.

"Whether it be Bracknell or Redruth, I think it will be an overnight stay for the guys."

The Warriors played Bracknell last season in National One and came away with a 59-24 win as the Berkshire side were relegated to division two.

Redruth are currently struggling in National Three South and have lost their opening three matches.
