Harlequins defend their London Floodlit Sevens title at Rosslyn Park tonight (Wednesday).

The tournament starts at 5pm when the Fijian stars of the Army play Cambridge University.

The tournament comprises four pools of three teams, playing in a round-robin format to produce the four semi-finalists.

Pool A: Richmond, Army, Cambridge University. Pool B: Rosslyn Park, London Irish, Oxford University. Pool C: Saracens, London Welsh, London Scottish. Pool D: Harlequins, Esher, Loughborough University.

The tournament has been allocated a top team of match officials headed by World Cup referee Wayne Barnes.

This is the 33rd running of the London Floodlit Sevens - the floodlights at Rosslyn Park were a gift from former player, fervent Park member and film star Oliver Reed.
