Figure image
Leicester Tigers will kick off their Premiership Rugby 7s campaign against hosts Newcastle Falcons.

Tigers, runners-up in last season's competition, are drawn in Group D of the competition, which will be staged at Kingston Park on Saturday, August 2.
 
Tigers kick-off the evening’s games against the Falcons (7.15pm) before they face newly-promoted London Welsh and concluding their pool fixtures against Sale Sharks.

Tigers gave a debut to then trialist Blaine Scully in last season's pool stages as they reached the series final for the first time. Tigers eventually lost in the final to Gloucester Rugby.
 
This season's series kicks off on Saturday, July 26 at BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park with a series of all-Welsh contests involving hosts Cardiff Blues, Newport Gwent Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets.
 
Group B will be held at Kingsholm on Thursday, July 31. It features hosts and Premiership Rugby 7s holders Gloucester in a pool containing Bath Rugby, Exeter Chiefs and London Irish.
 
Northampton Saints welcome Harlequins, London Wasps and Saracens to their Franklin’s Gardens home for the Group C fixtures on Friday, August 1.
