Wales Under-18 will play Australian Schools twice over the next week - with head coach Allan Lewis looking forward to the challenge and naming nine young stars from Blues in his squad.
Kieron Assirratti, Liam Belcher, Seb Davies, Jordan Viggers, Owen Jones, Tom Williams, Jarrod Evans, Garyn Smith and Ellis-Wyn Benham have all won call-ups.
A Wales Under 18 A side play the tourists on Friday 22 November (3.30pm), while the two sides will meet in a full Under 18 international on Wednesday 27 (7.15pm), both games at the Gnoll, while the Ospreys Under 18 side has earned the chance to play them on December 1 at The Brewery Field.
Wales Under 18 have undertaken tours to South Africa during the last two off seasons, with Lewis putting a lot of stall in the encounters against top quality opposition, and in the experience itself.
Wales cap Dafydd Howells and Wales squad member Hallam Amos were on the trip just 15 months ago, along with the likes of Ashley Evans, Steffan Hughes, Sion Bennett, Nicky Thomas, Nicky Smith, Elliot Dee and Ethan Lewis who starred for Wales Under 20 en route towards the final of the Junior World Championship this summer.
