Scarlets boss Nigel Davies says Macs Page's late Wales call-up is fully deserved and tips him to make his international debut soon.
Macs Page has gone from club standout to international squad member, and the man who coaches him every week believes the promotion is long overdue. Scarlets director of rugby Nigel Davies has publicly thrown his weight behind the late Wales call-up.
Davies insists Page has earned his place and is fully deserving of the chance to pull on a Wales jersey. His message is clear: this is no token gesture or emergency patch-up, but recognition of what Page has put in at the Scarlets.
Now the question is how soon the debut arrives. Davies expects Page to get his opportunity before long, and being named in the squad at a late stage often puts a player right on the edge of selection. All it takes is one injury, one tactical tweak or one strong week of training.
For Page, the task is to take the momentum from his club form into the international environment. With his director of rugby in his corner and a Wales jersey within reach, a first cap could be closer than anyone expected.
