With a 2pm kick-off and free admission, the match provides perfect entertainment for rugby supporters and the opportunity to look at potential stars of the future.
The Tigers Academy were the only team to topple England Under-18s last season and have had another successful campaign so far, losing just three times in the first six months of the term.
“We enjoyed a fantastic win over the England team last season when they were beating all of their international opposition and it is a great testing ground for the players to find themselves in that company,” said Tigers Academy manager Neil McCarthy.
“The player are all working hard and learning the game, but to take them out of their usual environment of club fixtures and throw them in against a national squad is a great learning experience for them.
“I am sure Wales are looking forward to the game as much as we are because they know it will be competitive.
“We’re hoping to attract a good crowd too because this should be an excellent occasion and playing in front of a decent crowd helps in any player’s development too.”
The ABC Bar in the Crumbie Stand will be open, serving tea and coffee, as well as full bar refreshments.
