Leinster champions Clontarf are drawn alongside Old Crescent, who lost to Shannon in the Munster final, Garryowen, Blackrock College and City of Derry.
In the Women’s tournament reigning champions UL Bohemians will be without a number of their usual squad who are in training with the Ireland Women’s squad ahead of travelling to the Amsterdam 7s.
UL Bohs are in the Division 1 pool with St. Mary’s College, Blackrock College and Old Belvedere.
