LONDON (Reuters) - Wasps and Bristol secured their place in the English Premiership playoffs with victories over Exeter and London Irish on Sunday but Bath might have blown their chances and will have to wait to discover whether their draw with Saracens will be enough.

Sunday's programme was due to finalise the four qualifiers for next week's semi-finals but the postponement of Sale's game against Worcester after 16 Sale players tested positive for COVID-19, threw a spanner into the works.
