Wales is considering handing a Test debut to Exeter back-row forward Kane James against Argentina in the Nations Championship. The 21-year-old James is a candidate for the bench in San Juan on Saturday, potentially earning his first cap after a strong season with Exeter.

Head coach Steve Tandy plans to make changes to the squad following their opening Nations Championship win against Fiji. The current back-row starters are Alex Mann, Jac Morgan, and Aaron Wainwright, with James Botham and Taine Plumtree as reserve options.

James's potential inclusion offers a fresh look to the Welsh forward pack as they prepare to face the Pumas. His emergence signals a look towards developing younger talent within the Welsh setup.
