Based at the National Institute for Sport in Cardiff, the players will be introduced to all aspects of rugby, both on and off the pitch.
Coached by National Squad flanker and recent Level 3 coach Kylie Wilson, the players will begin training at 6:30am to mirror the lifestyle of the senior counterparts so they can witness first hand what it takes to reach the top.
WWRU National Academy Co-ordinator Zoe Eaton will assess each of the players on their suitability for next season’s Academy intake as the management team ensure the players are given a holistic approach to rugby.
WWRU Director Richard Hodges said “These next 2 days are as important as any others in a season. Some of these players will represent Wales in the next 2 World Cups and we need to ensure they progress on and off the pitch to become both the best players and people that they possibly can be.
