“The Young Lions will face initial opposition from Japan, Portugal and Chile in their group stage, as England aim to retain a title which they’ve held for the last three years.
“Now in its 47th year, the prestigious tournament is staged across a variety of venues in Provence and the Young Lions kick-off their defence of the title in Aubagne on Saturday 1 June against Japan.
