WORCESTER Rugby Club have been handed a mouth-watering RFU Senior Cup fifth round clash with Rotherham at Sixways.
The tie of the round sees the two top National One clubs lock horns at Worcester for the second time this season on November 24.
Worcester beat Rotherham 20-18 at Sixways in September but the South Yorkshire side have since hit top form and are in second place with a game in hand on their rivals.
John Brain's team moved into the fifth round with a 50-3 win at Moseley while Rotherham beat Coventry 51-27 at Clifton Lane.
But Brain said: "If one team wins I don't think it will have any bearing on what happens in the league because it is a one-off cup tie.
"I don't think Rotherham will bring a full strength team and we may well look, again, at using our squad system in the match.
"I think, if we are both honest, we would have preferred to avoid each other because it will be a tough, physical game."
