Nigel Davies believes Macs Page's late Wales call-up is fully deserved. The Scarlets wing, approaching fifty regional appearances, burst onto the scene and is now being managed differently by opposition. Page previously toured Japan with Wales in 2025 and could debut against the Cherry Blossoms on Saturday, 7 November.
He recently avoided a serious injury after a head-first collision in Scarlets' 52-40 defeat by Stormers, returning to light training before joining the Wales camp. "Macs did have a nasty knock, but it wasn't as bad as it looked," Davies said. Page has joined Scarlets team-mates Blair Murray and Ellis Mee as a back-three option for Steve Tandy. He is one of eight Wales players missing Scarlets' URC game at Bulls in Pretoria.
Davies sees player development as key to the club's success, stating: "Our job is to perform, to win games and develop Welsh international rugby players." Welsh-qualified Isaac Murray-Macgregor will start against Bulls, who are unbeaten at home this season.
