Robert and James Lewis are this weekend set to become the first twins to represent Wales in senior rugby. The identical brothers, 19, who play for Ebbw Vale, are in the squad for the IRB Sevens tournaments in Wellington (1-2 Feb) and San Diego (9-10 Feb).
"I'm looking forward to having my brother around to show me the ropes," said scrum-half Robert, who, unlike James, has yet to play for the side.
Wales face Fiji, England and the Cook Islands in New Zealand.

The following week in California they have been drawn against New Zealand, Scotland and France.
"International Sevens is an awesome experience, the best thing I have done," said centre James.
"The global travelling and the pace of the game take a bit of getting used to, but I'm sure by the time we get to San Diego Robert will have settled into the rhythm."
Wales Sevens Squad for New Zealand and USA:
Johnathan Edwards (Scarlets,capt), Richie Pugh (Cardiff), Dafydd Hewitt (Blues), James Harris (Dragons), Lee Williams (Scarlets), Robert Lewis (Dragons), Aled Thomas (Dragons) Alec Jenkins (Scarlets), Tal Selley (Blues), Nick Wakely (Newport, San Diego only), Lee Beach (Neath, Wellington only), Lewis Evans (Dragons), James Lewis (Dragons)
