Leicester Tigers will be represented by an U-17 team at an Anglo-French tournament in London on Sunday, July 1.

The tournament features eight teams playing in aid of the charity Action Against Hunger. Tigers have been drawn in Pool B alongside Perpignan, Saracens and hosts Harlequins. Pool A features Toulouse, Stade Francais, London Wasps and London Irish.

The event is being staged at Twickenham Stoop Stadium and Richmond College and, while entry to supporters is free, all money raised from the raffle, activities and refreshments sales will go to the Action Against Hunger charity.

The tournament starts with an all-French tussle at The Stoop between Toulouse and Stade Francais at 11am, while local rivals Wasps and London Irish clash at the adjacent Richmond College.

Tigers open against Perpignan at Richmond College (11.40am), then play Harlequins on their home soil at The Stoop (1pm) and Saracens on the college pitch (2.20pm) before the play-offs. The final is scheduled for 5.20pm, with presentations to follow.
