A new scheme has been launched by Swansea Council alongside the Ospreys rugby union team and the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) to help unearth fresh talent.

The initiative will see community coaches from the Ospreys visiting schools across the city in a bid to support club rugby and increase participation among local young people. Coaches will visit schools local to four clubs - Penclawdd; Penlan; Pontarddulais; and South Gower - to help boost membership and deliver training sessions before the clubs host development nights.

Swansea Council rugby development officer Ben Rose said: "The whole programme is specifically designed to encourage more local children to play rugby. The clubs in question have identified that they need more players and we're happy to help." South Gower Rugby Football Club is scheduled to host the next development night on 6 October for the U15s age group.
