Having lifted the trophy in Pretoria 12 months ago, Franco Smith’s squad will have home advantage in the opening round of the playoffs after a fiercely-competitive campaign to date.

With British & Irish Lions stars Sione Tuipulotu, Huw Jones, Scott Cummings and Zander Fagerson included amongst the playing group, as well as Scotland standouts such as Rory Darge and Tom Jordan, the stage is set for another unmissable clash under the Friday night lights at the home of the Warriors.

Match tickets will go on general sale at 2pm on Tuesday 20 May. Click HERE for full event information.
