WORCESTER Rugby Club are due to kick off the new Allied Dunbar Premiership Two season with a trip to Manchester on September 4.

But the Sixways club may not fulfil any of their fixtures published below as they are still hoping to become part of Premiership One.

The current fixtures have just 12 clubs in the top flight and both Worcester and Rotherham argue this breaks the Mayfair agreement.

A final decision on the make up of the top two divisions will be made at a meeting of the English Rugby Partnership on Tuesday, July 20.

Manchester are newly promoted from Jewson National League Division One, as are Henley who they visit two weeks later.

Worcester's first scheduled home game is against Rugby on September 11.
