“Clearly it has been in the back of our minds,” he informed BBC CWR.

“It is already a sell-out. It is a improbable set-up and, by their very own admission, it is a Premiership floor with Premiership squad and Premiership teaching workers.

“So, listening to all that, we have got no likelihood – in order that’s a very good place to be.

“This 12 months, Worcester’s on everybody lips and [reigning champions] Ealing are a prime, prime group – they are going to be the confirmed ones who’ve been there and achieved it,” he mentioned.

“We’ll have a recreation plan. There will be numerous emotion for them with it being their first league recreation. It was most likely their cup ultimate in opposition to Tub.

“It is going to be actually vital for us to go there and quieten the gang down.”
