Llandovery will defend their Cup title after beating Pontypridd 33-19 in a thrilling finale to last year’s event.
The other 11 Principality Premiership clubs will field sevens sides, including last year’s Plate winners Llanelli. They will be joined by SSE SWALEC Championship sides Bargoed, RGC 1404 and Swansea, along with Wales Students who reached the Plate Final last season.
In addition, four Regional Women’s sides will compete for a new national women’s sevens title.
Gates will open at 9.30am for a 10am start, with the cup final set to kick off at 7.20pm.
Ticket prices for the whole day event are unchanged with adult tickets £10 and £5 for under 16s. The family offer is also available at £20 for 2 adults and 2 under 16s.
Wales Sevens head coach Gareth Williams said, “This is a vital season for seven-a-side rugby. With sevens featuring at the Olympic Games in Rio next year, the race is on for players to put their hands up for selection.
“The Foster’s National 7s not only gives us a chance to look at the form of potential Wales Sevens squad members ahead of the build up to the international season. It is always good to see fresh new talent put their hands up for consideration too.”
“The knock-on effect of being an Olympic sport will be huge and the Foster’s 7s is a great example of the entertaining nature of the game, both in terms of the quality of rugby on offer on the field and the carnival atmosphere off it.”
