Saturday's Guinness Premiership match between Worcester and London Irish has been postponed because of a frozen pitch.

Groundstaff at Sixways Stadium made every effort to get the game on, however areas of the pitch were deemed unsafe after an inspection on Friday afternoon.

Warriors general manager Charlie Little said, "A huge amount of time and effort has gone into trying to get this game ready. At the end of the day we have fallen just short of what would have been a fantastic achievement."

He added: "Chris White, the match day referee, was full of praise for the obvious efforts that had gone in and was genuinely disappointed to have to call the game off.

"However, in the end as a duty of care to the players and recent weather conditions, especially the wind, have meant that we were not making progress quickly enough ahead of Saturday's game."
