Fixtures confirmed for Mitsubishi Motors Exeter 7s

The pools and fixtures for next month's Mitsubishi Motors Exeter 7s have been confirmed as Sandy Park prepares to host the Rugby Europe Grand Prix Sevens Series for the second time.

The tournament, which takes place July 9-10, forms a key part of GB Sevens' preparations for Rio with the wider training squad competing as two teams, the GB Lions and GB Royals.

GB Royals will face Portugal, Poland and France during match day one while GB Lions will take on Belgium and Italy before concluding day one against Germany. The full schedule can be found here.

Rugby Sevens events have gained a reputation for having a carnival atmosphere, and the Mitsubishi Motors Exeter 7s promises to deliver this with a Wild West fancy dress theme and some great prizes on offer for the best costumes, a ‘fanzone’ with rugby themed activation and family fun, plus a Real Ale & Cider festival in association with Heineken and Otter Brewery. There will also be live music on Saturday evening, with Exeter bands Big Foot and Stillyano keeping the party going at Sandy Park.
