Richard Cockerill says supporters will see Leicester Tigers stars of the future in action during the Premiership Sevens at Welford Road on Friday.

The new JP Morgan Asset Management Premiership Sevens series sees Tigers face opposition from Sale Sharks, Newcastle Falcons and Leeds Carnegie.

Tigers director of rugby Cockerill says it will be a chance for some of the club’s younger talent to test themselves in front of a Welford Road crowd.

“Half of our first-team squad have come through the Academy and there will be guys playing on Friday who will emerge and come through to the first team,” said Cockerill

“We have some quality young guys here. We want to put them on show and see what they can do.”

Doors open at 5.30pm, along with bars and refreshments kiosks, so you can join us straight from work and make the most of a night with Tigers.

Kick-off is at 7.30pm, with six matches involving Leicester Tigers, Leeds Carnegie, Newcastle Falcons and Sale Sharks.

The programme also includes extra family entertainment including live music from a Rihanna tribute act, fun and games on the pitch between games, face-in-the-crowd competitions and facepainters.

Entry is free to Tigers season ticket holders, or £10 for adults and £5 for juniors. Season ticket holders can buy additional tickets for friends and family, and for every additional ticket they can buy a second at half price. Family tickets (2 adults, 2 children) are available for £25 and supporters can also take advantage of a '3 for 2' offer.

Tickets are available now from the Tigers ticket office (open 8.30am-5pm all week, until 8pm on Wednesday and 8.30pm on Friday). Or phone the Tigers ticket hotline on 0844 856 1880.

All supporters will be accommodated in the Caterpillar Stand.
