FOR youngsters in Swansea there is a huge game of rugby being played today and it doesn’t involved Wales!
While the likes of George North and Dan Bigger battle it out against the English for the Six Nations title today at the Millennium stadium the stars of the future will have their eyes of a different prize.
Swansea Schoolboys have made it into the semi-final of the Dewar Shield - a national competition for under 15-year-olds that has a history and tradition dating back to 1905.
It has given some of the biggest names in the game, such as Phil Bennett and Robert Jones, their first taste of representative rugby.

The class of 2013 will take on Rhondda in a 10.30am kick off this morning, at St Helen's Rugby Ground, in the competition’s semi final.
The winners will play either Pontypridd or Cardiff in the final.
A spokeswoman for Swansea Schoolboys said: “The Dewar Shield is the oldest rugby union competition in the world and is eagerly contested every year by the under 15-year-old schoolboys from each region in Wales. This year Swansea Schoolboys have won all eight group matches and by winning all their matches in the second round against Cynon Valley, Carmarthen and Cardiff have guaranteed a home semi final tie.
“The final will be played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on May 11. Please come along and support the boys in their quest to reach their dream venue. All are welcome.”
