Samoa to play Wasps in RWC warm-up game

Samoa will take on Wasps at the Ricoh Arena on September 5 as a warm-up to their World Cup campaign.
The game, which will kick off at 3pm, will also serve as preparation for Wasps ahead of the Premiership season.
Wasps Deputy Chairman Nick Eastwood said: “Hosting Samoa at the Ricoh Arena on 5 September will be a fantastic occasion and one not to miss as a rugby supporter. The game will be included for supporters as part of the 2015/16 Season Ticket package, which goes on sale the week commencing Monday 13 April.
“We are proud of the facilities we have at the Ricoh Arena, which is a perfect venue to host an international side. It will be a terrific day out for all the family to enjoy and a chance for fans to watch some of the international players in action before World Cup fever grips the nation when Rugby World Cup kicks off on Friday 18 September 2015.”
Wasps’ Director of Rugby Dai Young added: “As players and coaches, you want to test yourself against the best. We have that chance this Sunday against European Champions Toulon and the Samoa game will be another great opportunity for the squad as part of our preparations for the new season.”
