Within the next fortnight, a group of young Welsh rugby players head to Argentina to take on the best sides in the world at the World Rugby U20 Championship.
The tournament has been the breeding ground for many of the game's global stars, with plenty of Warren Gatland's likely World Cup squad having previously starred at age-grade rugby's most prestigious gathering.
However, the most successful young Wales team in history was the side who reached the final in France in 2013.
Wales would eventually lose 23-15 to an England side containing the likes of Jack Nowell, Henry Slade and a certain Ross Moriarty before he switched allegiances.
This is what happened to the Wales team that day.
15: Jordan Williams
Selected to tour South Africa with Warren Gatland’s senior squad the following summer and was tipped for a huge career at the very highest level. But the versatile back never totally convinced at the Scarlets before eventually moving on to Bristol. Returned to Wales with the Dragons last season and produced some exceptional moments during a difficult campaign. You can read more about his story here.
14: Ashley Evans
The wing/full-back has done the rounds in the Welsh Premiership after never really getting his big chance at the Scarlets or Ospreys. He's played for Wales Sevens and made nine appearances for Bridgend Ravens last season.
13: Steffan Hughes
The centre has had some major injury issues to deal with after suffering a major knee injury in January 2015 playing for Llanelli in the Swalec Cup.
Played in the Welsh Premiership for Llanelli this term but has struggled to be more than a fringe player at the Scarlets.
12: Jack Dixon
Made it into Warren Gatland’s 2015 World Cup training squad before suffering a serious kidney injury in a pre-season friendly that left him unable to train for several months.
A regular at the Dragons, he played 15 times for the Welsh region last season but is yet to fulfill the promise he once showed after his misfortune with injury.
11: Hallam Amos
One of the most successful members of the 2013 side, Amos is joining Cardiff Blues from the Dragons next season.
He has played 19 times for Wales and is hoping to make this year's World Cup squad.
10: Sam Davies
Won the 2013 IRB Junior Player of the Year award, beating off New Zealand’s Ardie Savea and England flanker Clifford to the title.
His future is currently the focus of much speculation as he decides whether to leave the Ospreys for the Dragons. Started to emerge on the senior Wales scene a couple of years ago but has slipped down the pecking order in recent times.
9: Rhodri Williams
The son of popular former Swansea scrum-half Alan Williams is a talented player who has gone on to be capped three times at senior level.
He enjoyed a strong season at the Dragons last year after returning to Welsh rugby following a stint at Bristol. Currently behind Gareth Davies, Tomos Williams and Aled Davies in the Wales pecking order but could yet have more international caps in him.
1: Gareth Thomas
In the summer of 2014 he left Carmarthen Quins to join the Ospreys. Played 11 times for the region that season and has made steady progress since.
Thomas made 13 appearances for the region last term.
2: Elliot Dee
The all-action hooker broke into the Dragons regional team in 2013/14 having previously played for Bedwas in the Principality Welsh Premiership and has been a revelation ever since.
He's now Wales' second choice hooker behind Ken Owens and seems a certainty for the World Cup squad later this year.
3: Nicky Thomas
A player with huge potential who has been around the houses a bit and struggled to settle anywhere. Has had stints at the Ospreys, Scarlets and Dragons on loan, while he also played for Gloucester.
Joined Bristol on a short term loan last September.
4: Carwyn Jones
One of a pair of rugby playing twins the 6ft 6in and 19st lock turned out for Carmarthen Quins in the Premiership while with the Scarlets. Made three appearances off the bench for the Scarlets before heading across to England to play for Ealing Trailfinders.
He's since ended up in France where he is thriving at RC Vannes , but is hopeful of getting a proper crack at regional rugby in the future.
5: Rhodri Hughes
Was seen as having a really bright future. But hasn’t been able to kick on and make it at senior level so far.
Made minimal starts at the Ospreys, with the likes of Lloyd Ashley, Rory Thornton and Adam Beard overtaking him in the second row pecking order.
Has played most of rugby at Premiership level with Bridgend, Swansea and most recently Aberavon.
6: Jack Jones
Can play in the back and second rows and when with the Ospreys headed out to Italy to further his rugby education with Rovigo. Was let go by the region and has played Welsh Premiership rugby.
7: Ellis Jenkins
Has emerged as an outstanding international player and now captained his country at senior level. Produced a remarkable display against South Africa last autumn but ended the game lying on the pitch in agony after suffering a serious knee injury that looks likely to rule him out of the Rugby World Cup.
8: Ieuan Jones
Played 32 times for the Dragons in three seasons before moving onto regional rivals the Cardiff Blues in the summer of 2014. Was deemed surplus to requirements when head coach Mark Hammett joined the region and went out on loan to the Ospreys before heading into Welsh Premiership rugby.
