Tigers Academy won the corresponding fixture last year when Manu Tuilagi, Andrew Forsyth and Matt Everard were among the try-scorers in a 22-14 victory.
Tuilagi has gone on to win the club’s Young Player of the Year awards and break into the England Saxons set-up, while many of his former Academy colleagues have played in the victorious Aviva Premiership ‘A’ League team in the last two seasons.
Stay around after the main game and see some of the next generation in action.
