Head coach James Cooper said: “We are really looking forward to the tournament and seeing how the players develop following on from the recent Home Nations.

“They have come together well and will play an exciting style.

“It is a great opportunity for players to have a taste of international rugby and support their long-term development.

“They will be up against tough opposition which will challenge their skills and show their potential for senior honours in the future.”
