Premiership Rugby have confirmed that Worcester Warriors’ Gallagher Premiership Rugby matches against Gloucester Rugby and Harlequins have been cancelled.
This follows the RFU’s decision to suspend Worcester Warriors from all competitions.
The RFU confirmed last Monday that the owners of Worcester Warriors failed to meet the RFU’s deadline to evidence insurance cover, availability of funds to meet the monthly payroll, and a credible plan to take the club forward.
The RFU, therefore, suspended Worcester Warriors from all competitions, including Gallagher Premiership Rugby, Allianz Premier 15s, and Allianz Cup with immediate effect.
In a statement, Premiership Rugby said: “A panel will be convened in due course to decide the result – and points allocation – of these two matches.”

CONFIRMED: Four Worcester Warriors stars join Bath on loan
The Mail Online believes that Bath will soon confirm the loan arrivals of four Worcester Warriors players in the next 48 hours.
All four players remain loyal to Worcester director of rugby Diamond and, in an ideal world, would have liked to have stayed at the Sixways club.
However, due to the clubs current suspension they are unable to train or play.
