Macs Page: Nigel Davies confident Scarlets wing will make Wales debut soon

“From a Welsh perspective, they have got quite a few positive selection dilemmas where more than one or two players are putting their hands up.

“I think that’s a really positive position to be in. They initially selected the players who fit their profile, but Macs couldn’t have been too far away.”

Scarlets had tipped Page for a call-up earlier this season as the Dinas Cross youngster approaches fifty appearances for the region.

“Macs burst onto the scene, and, invariably, when you get a bit of a name, you are marked a little better and managed differently by the opposition,” added Davies.

“It’s about players finding their feet in that environment, and that’s what he’s been able to do.

“Playing on the wing, where he is freed up a little bit right throughout the pitch, makes the most of his ability.”

Page previously toured Japan with Wales in 2025, and could debut against the Cherry Blossoms on Saturday, 7 November after avoiding a serious injury.

The Crymych RFC product, who broke through at outside centre, collided head-first with the turf when attempting to score his sixth try of the campaign in Scarlets’ 52-40 defeat by Stormers last weekend.

He was helped from the pitch with oxygen in Cape Town but returned to light training before leaving South Africa to join Wales.

“Macs did have a nasty knock, but it wasn’t as bad as it looked when he left the pitch with two guys holding his neck,” Davies said.

“That was just protocol which had to happen. He has been managed very well. He did a bit of light training before he left, and he was feeling fine.”
