Three fixtures will be played at Premier League or international football stadiums on the final weekend of March (27-29). Gloucester face Leicester Tigers in The Slater Cup - named after Ed Slater, former captain of both teams, who retired in 2022 after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease - at Aston Villa's Villa Park on Saturday, 28 March. Bristol Bears - who faced Bath at Principality Stadium last season in the club's Big Day Out - will return to the Welsh capital to play Harlequins, while Saracens take on Northampton Saints at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. "Marquee fixtures remain a key pillar of our strategy to broaden rugby's reach," Massie-Taylor added. "We're thrilled to see Villa Park host The Slater Cup for the first time and to witness the continued growth of Bristol Bears' Big Day Out in its second year."
