Bristol Bears and Bath Rugby have both been handed new opponents in the Premiership Rugby Cup pool stages in a bid by Premiership Rugby to salvage the semi-final qualification process in the competition following the withdrawal of Wasps and Worcester.
As approved unanimously by all Premiership Clubs at an Investor Board meeting, matches between Bristol Bears and Sale Sharks and London Irish and Bath have been added to the schedule to complete the qualification process.
Exeter Chiefs will also receive a points allocation from the match that should have been played against Worcester Warriors.
