Six other Premiership clubs have confirmed their presence at England’s oldest sevens tournament with Harlequins, London Wasps, Saracens, Newcastle Falcons, Leeds Carnegie and Leicester Tigers hoping to take home some of the £30,000 prize money on offer this year.
England who will be appearing under their ‘Help for Heroes’ banner will also be joined by Scotland and Wales in advance of their Commonwealth Games challenges in October.
The British Army, winners at Middlesex in 2001 and 2004, will again be fielding a strong side in the Middlesex Sevens and will be joined by other invitational sides and guest teams for the 84th running of the event. Over the years the tournament has raised over £10m for charity. CLICK HERE for tickets.
