Children from year seven to year ten from schools across the North West will enjoy the 7s festival on Wednesday June 15, organised and run by the Rugby Football Union as part of the World Rugby U20 Championship legacy programme. The day will be the biggest rugby event of its kind in the North, with over a thousand young players taking part.

Training base to current U20 title holders New Zealand, Broughton Park is an ideal location for a festival aiming to give as many school children as possible a rugby day to remember. Girls from year seven and eight will play a 7-a-side tournament, as will boys from year seven to year ten. In addition, girls from year eight and ten will play in their own competition.

All the youngsters taking part are invited to match day three at either the AJ Bell Stadium, where England will face Australia in a crucial Pool B fixture, or Academy Stadium ,where South Africa face France among two other fixtures.
