A handful of young players were spotted training with Wales last week

Young Newport wing Noah Morgan and Cardiff second-row Sonny McCabe were among a handful of youngsters brought in to train with Wales last week.

19-year-old Morgan began last week helping out Steve Tandy's side in training, before finishing it by starting on the wing for the Black and Ambers in their Super Rygbi Cymru clash against Carmarthen on Friday.

As for McCabe, the Cardiff second-row was previously described by former Wales forward Josh Turnbull as a player with a "massive work ethic".

"He's someone I think can go a long way," he previously told WalesOnline.

Ospreys second-row Ben Roberts is also believed to have been brought into camp.

Roberts made his Ospreys debut off the bench against Leinster at the end of last season, before featuring again as a replacement against Black Lion in the Challenge Cup recently.

There was at least another player not involved in Tandy's 39-man squad who was present.

There's no suggestion any of the players are on Wales' immediate radar.

Instead, it's merely a case of Wales needing numbers for training.

Last week saw Wales' players report to camp, with all four professional clubs still with a week of United Rugby Championship action left to play.

As such, calling in regional players to train - as Wales have done in the past - was not feasible.

This is not the first time Tandy has brought in players from academies and the SRC.

Newport back-row Cerrig Smith is believed to have helped out last year.
