Wales are weighing up handing 21-year-old Exeter Chiefs back-row forward Kane James his Test debut against Argentina in the Nations Championship in San Juan on Saturday. It matters because it signals head coach Steve Tandy's willingness to freshen up and reward emerging talent after Wales opened the tournament with a win over Fiji.

James is in contention for a bench spot after a breakthrough season with Premiership runners-up Exeter, having made 18 appearances and featured in the final defeat by Northampton. The former England Under-20s flanker had been in the frame for the Six Nations before an ankle injury against Cardiff in January. Wales' back row against Fiji featured Alex Mann, Jac Morgan and Aaron Wainwright, with the trip to Argentina followed by a fixture against South Africa in Durban on 18 July. Tandy names his matchday squad on Thursday.
