In the week that Wasps travel to Toulon for a European Quarter Final, the club has announced it will also host an international team at the Ricoh Arena next season, in addition to hosting Group B of the Singha Premiership Rugby 7s on 21 August and a potential European Champions Cup Semi Final this month, if Northampton Saints beat Clermont Auvergne on Saturday.
Samoa will be Wasps' opponents on Saturday 5 September (kick-off 3pm) as part of warm-up preparations for Wasps' 2015/16 Aviva Premiership campaign and Samoa's Rugby World Cup campaign, in which they will play Scotland, South Africa, USA and Japan, in Pool B.
Nick Eastwood, Deputy Chairman of Wasps 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.
The 2015/16 Aviva Premiership will kick off on the weekend of 16/17/18 October, as RWC 2015 reaches the knock-out stages.
Wasps' other pre-season friendlies and on sale information for Wasps v Samoa for non-Season Ticket Holders will be announced in due course.
Wasps have two remaining home games this season, against Exeter Chiefs on Sunday 26 April and the new Midlands derby against Leicester Tigers on Saturday 9 May in The Stinger, for which over 23,000 tickets have already been sold.
