Macs Page has a “huge future” with Wales despite being left out of Steve Tandy’s Nations Championship squad, according to former Dragons and Ospreys boss Lyn Jones.
Wing Page, 21, had been tipped for a call-up for the November Tests having been in fine form for Scarlets.
But Wales head coach Tandy instead opted to recall Rio Dyer and Gabriel Hamer-Webb alongside Josh Adams, Ellis Mee, Blair Murray, Tom Rogers and Louis Rees-Zammit.
Tandy’s squad features three uncapped players – prop Rhys Barratt, centre Aneurin Owen and scrum-half Che Hope – and Jones feels Page’s age may have counted against him.
“Experience is something that has been lacking from the Welsh squad,” Jones told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast.
“It’s another young, uncapped player and he (Tandy) is probably a little bit afraid to introduce Macs just at the moment, but he has a huge, huge future for Wales. That is for certain.”
