The Australian Institute of Sport will return to the UK later this month when they arrive for a three-game tour.

The 25-man squad will arrive on Monday November 26 after playing a two games in France and start the UK-leg of their trip with a game against Wales U18s in Neath on Wednesday November 28.

Following the opening game in south Wales they then head to West Yorkshire where the England Students will face them at Stanningley on Sunday December 2, before the trip concludes three days later at Hemel Hempstead when the English Lions U18s provide the opposition.

English Lions U18s head coach Kelvin Lockett is looking forward to testing his side against the tourists.

“Over the years the AIS have brought over some strong squads and I’m sure that this year will be no different.

“We were disappointed to lose to Wales last week so will be training hard to give ourselves the best possible chance against them.

“It’s also good to be playing our game against them down at Hemel Hempstead. The game is making great progress down there and the facilities are impressive. The last time I was there the pitch was great so that should help make for a great contest.”
