The Aviva Premiership Under 18 League is back!
Last year the Under 18 League was a roaring success with some of the best school players from across the country combining to play for their respective club sides, gaining valuable top level experience but also gaining a huge chance to impress as they continue their pursuit of a professional contract and of gaining England Age-Group recognition.
It all kicks off this evening with London Irish v Saracens before a whole stack of games on Saturday, including Northampton Saints v Worcester, Sale v Leicester, Newcastle v Gloucester, and Exeter v Bath.
The action is rounded off for the week by Bristol v Harlequins on Tuesday afternoon in Clifton. Leeds and Wasps are the teams that must be patient this round, they will have to wait until the second round on the weekend of the 14th December for their first action.
