Northampton to host Singha 7s
The home of Northampton Saints was chosen to host the first Olympic-style version of the Premiership Rugby 7s on Friday July 28 and Saturday July 29, with all 12 Premiership Rugby teams taking part across two days of action.
“We are excited about this new format and having – for the first time ever – all 12 Premiership Rugby clubs together over two days of rugby,” said Phil Winstanley, the rugby director of Premiership Rugby.
“It is particularly good news for fans who can enjoy a wonderful festival of rugby at a perfect venue that has outstanding facilities for players and spectators alike.
“We are looking forward to welcoming fans from all 12 clubs to the East Midlands.”
Teams will be split into three pools of four in the Singha Premiership Rugby 7s, and they will play each other on a round-robin basis with the tournament splitting into Cup, Plate and Bowl competitions on the second day.
The draw for the event will be announced on Friday July 7.
Early bird tickets are now available for just £3 (Under-16s) and £8 (adults), with family tickets for two adults and two Under-16s available for £20 for one day and £35 for both the Friday and Saturday. This special offer expires on June 15.
