Worcester Warriors will no longer be known as it is - and won't play in the rugby union Championship next season either.

The new Atlas consortium has confirmed it'll merge instead with fourth tier Stourbridge and be renamed 'Sixways Rugby'.

Director Jim O'Toole says the club has not been able to satisfy all conditions set by the Rugby Football Union.

Worcester went into administration last autumn.
