The trial of two schoolboys accused of the manslaughter of Auckland teen Stephen Dudley is set to begin at the High Court in Auckland today.
Stephen, 15, died after a school rugby training session on June 6 last year.
He was taken to Auckland City Hospital after an alleged assault at the training session and died a short time later.
The two accused have both pleaded not guilty. They were committed to trial at an appearance at the High Court in November.
