Wales have called up uncapped Scarlets back Macs Page to their squad for the upcoming November Nations Championship fixtures, following an injury setback to Rio Dyer. Dyer, 26, was released from head coach Steve Tandy’s squad after suffering a hamstring injury. The winger had recently been recalled to the national team after missing the Six Nations and summer matches due to previous issues.

Page, 21, sustained a head injury during Scarlets’ United Rugby Championship match against the Stormers in Cape Town last weekend. He was assisted off the field while receiving oxygen but will now undergo return-to-play protocols before being cleared for further action. Despite the injury, Page is anticipated to be available for selection and could make his senior Wales debut in the upcoming fixtures.

Wales are scheduled to restart their Nations Championship campaign with a home game against Japan in two weeks. The inclusion of Page aims to bolster the squad following Dyer’s withdrawal, as the team looks to build momentum in the tournament.
