Allianz Cup | Warriors Women to face Harlequins

Warriors Women have a date in the capital on Saturday 16 April as they take on Harlequins at Surrey Sports Park for a place in the Allianz Cup final (kick-off 2pm).

Jo Yapp’s side recorded a 34-27 victory at Loughborough Lightning on Saturday to go second in Pool B, having won three out of their four games.

Wins against Saracens, Sale Sharks and Lightning have underlined the talent coming through at Sixways Stadium, and the future certainly looks bright for the West Midlands club.

Saracens versus Exeter Chiefs, which was due to take place at the StoneX Stadium on Saturday 2 April, fell victim of COVID-19 cases in Sarries’ camp and the fixture was declared null and void.

There was no guarantee that rearranging the fixture on the only available dates (09/10 April) would allow enough time for the recovery of the affected players and therefore the fulfilment of the fixture.

Cancelling the fixture and declaring the match null and void also has no negative bearing or unintended consequence on the opposition, Exeter Chiefs, who remain top of Pool B.
