England and Northampton Saints prop Robbie Morris has confirmed his attendance at Rugby School on Bank Holiday Monday, May 5, when the Rugby Football Union (RFU) stages the second Royal & SunAlliance National U15s Tens Festival.
Robbie will be lending his support to an event that will attract 32 boys' teams from areas that represent all the constituent bodies of the RFU.
The top U15 players in the country will be on show over the two days. In addition there will be eight teams from rural and urban areas taking part in a separate Festival. In total there will over 700 boys involved over the two-day Festival, which starts on Sunday, May 4.
All teams will be involved throughout both days and on the second day teams will be streamed according to the results on the first day and play in four separate knock out Festivals. A separate knock out competition will be held for the eight development teams.
The festival is part of Royal & SunAlliance's sponsorship with the RFU that encourages participation in rugby, especially for youngsters who would not normally have the opportunity to experience it, and comes under the SEE U @ RUG B banner.
Robbie said: "This festival looks like an ideal opportunity for the top youngsters to come together and play together in a national competition, often for the first time. This kind of experience is essential as they develop into the sport. I am delighted to see that it also includes players from the inner cities and rural areas. I will be especially interested in seeing these teams play."
