WORCESTER Rugby Club have cancelled a friendly against Bristol's development side due to injury problems in the front row.

Hooker Chris Hall and props Andy Robinson and Bennett Smith were both injured while playing for the U21s against England U19s on Monday and would not be ready for such a tough fixture.

Props Neil Lyman and Tony Windo are also sidelined with knee and ankle injuries respectively and are being rested until the next Premiership Two match, at home to Wakefield a week on Saturday.

The game, due to be played tomorrow night, was arranged only yesterday afternoon after Cinderford pulled out of the original mid-week fixture.
