Sixways will host the semi-final between Worcester and Leinster A
Worcester will have to break the grasp of the holders on the trophy after being drawn at home to Leinster A in the British & Irish Cup semi-finals.
Leinster A have won the tournament for the past two seasons, beating Newcastle in 2013 and Leeds last season.
While Sixways hosts one last-four tie, Doncaster play Worcester's Championship rivals Bristol in the other semi-final.
The winners of that game have then been drawn to host the final during the first weekend in April.
