WORCESTER Rugby Club are predicting a sell out for the match between former World Champions South Africa and the English National Divisions at Sixways on Tuesday.

So far more than 4,600 tickets have been sold for the match, the largest crowd Sixways has ever held.

Work started at the ground this week to increase the East Stand and boost the capacity for the fixture to 6,000.

"We have approximately 1,400 tickets left, mainly standing and uncovered seats, although there are a few covered seats remaining," said media officer Nicola Goodwin.

"Interest in the fixture has been fantastic with people ringing from across the country for tickets."

South Africa arrive at Sixways on Monday for training and are staying in the Midlands for two days. They are not expected to name their starting squad for the match until next week.
