Tickets for Warriors’ pre-season clash with the world-famous Barbarians are now on sale…
And the Club can confirm some of the high profile stars who will be gracing the Sixways turf on Saturday 5 September (kick-off 3pm).
Springbok legend Bakkies Botha, who made 85 appearances for South Africa and won the World Cup in 2007, is one of five international superstars confirmed to take on Dean Ryan’s men.
Warriors will also be up against former All Blacks pair Ali Williams and Carl Hayman, as they look to start their pre-season in style.
Lock Williams featured in every game for New Zealand at the 2011 World Cup where they picked up the trophy for a second time in their history, while both he and Hayman led Toulon to last season's European Champions Cup title.
Two current stars in Super 15 rugby – South African Pierre Spies and Australian winger Lachie Turner, will also be wowing Sixways crowds in less than seven weeks’ time.
Warriors’ South African number-eight GJ van Velze said: “I’m really excited about playing one of my heroes in Bakkies Botha.
“Myself and Bakkies went to primary school together in Secunda and played together at the Bulls so it will be fantastic to come up against him.
“For us to face such an array of talented rugby names is an honour and we can’t wait to put ourselves to the test ahead of what promises to be a testing yet exciting start to the season.”
And don’t forget – you can meet all the Barbarians players at a barbecue on Thursday 3 September before enjoying the game on the Saturday for the special Early Bird price of £45 for adults and £15 for juniors.
