Fresh from skippering Exeter Chiefs for the first time at the weekend against London Irish, lock Dafydd Jenkins has today received his first-ever call-up into the Welsh senior squad.

The 19-year-old forward has been added, along with Rhys Davies (Ospreys), following the withdrawals of Dan Lydiate and Will Rowlands.

Wales bounced back from their Autumn Nations Series defeat to New Zealand a fortnight ago by defeating Argentina 20-13 at the Principality Stadium on Saturday.

Jenkins will join fellow Chief, Christ Tshiunza, in the squad which is currently training at The Vale Resort ahead of this weekend's Test against Georgia.

Wayne Pivac's side will then host Australia on Saturday, November 26 - a game scheduled outside the agreed global Test period, which means England-based players will not be available.
