Commenting during the Lions’ preparations, head coach Scott Rowe said: “We are all tremendously excited to get this opportunity to play on such a big stage.
“We have selected a fantastic team, jam-packed with talent and bursting with potential and we can’t wait to see what they can do.
“I’d also like to pay tribute to the wider squad, as it’s their efforts that promote such competition and ensure our programme continues to grow and develop. Roll on the 23rd August!”
