On Easter Monday (April 21) a Trevor Bethell Invitation XV will play Public School Wanderers, captained by former England prop Jeff Probyn, subject to availability, with a further 10 international players promised on the day.

Entry to the game will be charged at £2 to each spectator and there will also be a special match programme issued on the day to commemorate the occasion.
