Highly-rated young centre Aneurin Owen will be training with Wales as they prepare for their Tests against Canada and Argentina.
There was some surprise at the omission of the uncapped 20-year-old from Wayne Pivac’s squad given how impressive he has been this season.
But now his Dragons boss Dean Ryan has revealed he will be involved with the national squad.
“We have been informed that Aneurin will be an attached player into Wales over the summer, which we are really pleased about,” said Ryan.
“I have yet to clarify exactly what that is, but I think it will be a fantastic experience for him to be around there.
“He is a player who is capable of taking in information and keep getting better.
“His involvement around the national squad will drive his own standards to a higher level.
“I am still to chat to Wayne about what it means because we want to get him away and get him a break.
“But we are fully supportive of him being exposed to the highest level in this camp coming up and we will work out how to get him away and get him a break off the back of it.”
Ryan added: “I have had a number of conversations with Wayne around Ben (Carter) and Aneurin in terms of what would be a really beneficial experience for them and what would be a great rest and what would be a way of going into next season getting better.
“It’s a case of working out what’s the best experience Aneurin can get.
“He has been listed as an attached player and I would expect him to be going in with Wales.
“What that attachment actually is and for how long, I’ve still got to get to the bottom of.”
Five uncapped players were named in the Wales squad - Gareth Thomas, Ben Carter, Taine Basham. Ben Thomas and Tom Rogers.
