WARRIORS will warm-up for their 2018/19 Gallagher Premiership campaign by travelling to Italy to face Benetton Rugby before hosting Hartpury this August.
Alan Solomons will take his new-look side to Stadio di Monigo as they open their pre-season campaign against Benetton on Friday, August 10.
Benetton impressed in the Guinness Pro 14 last season, winning more than half their games in Conference B and taking some major scalps against the likes of Scarlets, Toyota Cheetahs and Ospreys.
Tickets for the match will be available at the gate at Stadio di Monigo, priced at €11.50 for Adults, €3.50 for Under 18s and free for Under 8s.
Supporters will then be able to see Solomons’ men in action at Sixways for the first time this summer when they host Hartpury on Saturday, August 18 at 3pm.
Hartpury, who travelled to Sixways during pre-season last summer, finished tenth in the Greene King IPA Championship during their maiden campaign in England’s second tier.
Tickets for the clash with Hartpury are available in the East Stand and are available to buy.
Tickets will be free for season ticket holders, £10 for adults and £1 for juniors.
The pre-season matches will provide opportunities for exciting new signings such as Duncan Weir, Cornell du Preez and Ashley Beck to impress the Warriors coaches ahead of the start of the new season.
