The Premiership Rugby U18 Academy League returns this weekend for Round 3 after a 5-month hiatus.
In a new format, the first two rounds of the competition took place in the summer with the remaining five, plus finals day, taking place through January and February.
Much has changed since those opening two rounds though, where Leicester Tigers, Saracens, Bristol Bears, and London Irish each won two from two. The big change comes in the northern conference, where of course Wasps and Worcester Warriors are no longer, replaced by the Midlands Regional Academy, with Midlands Central replacing Wasps and Midlands West replacing Worcester Warriors.
