"We've had three sensational seasons of the J.P. Morgan Premiership Rugby 7s and the fourth instalment is set to be a cracker," said Phil Winstanley, rugby director at Premiership Rugby.

Simon Green from BT Sport said: “From 1 August, BT Sport will begin broadcasting from BT's new state of the art studio facility on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. And we are thrilled that we will be showing all the excitement of the rugby 7s, live, across our opening weekend.”

Hetty Sowerby, head of sponsorship from J.P. Morgan Asset Management UK, said: “We’re looking forward to what should be a thrilling series with newly promoted and 2011 series champions Newcastle Falcons back to reclaim their title and reigning champions London Irish out to defend their crown.

“We also welcome the new series broadcaster BT Sport on board as they broadcast all the action live from what is shaping up to be another exciting summer of 7s rugby.”
