Newport Gwent Dragons wing Aled Brew has joined Gareth Jenkins' Welsh squad as they prepare to take on Ireland in the RBS Six Nations Championship on Sunday.
With Mark Jones and Shane Williams both fighting to be fit for the opener Jenkins has drafted in Aled Brew and Jamie Roberts of Cardiff Blues.
Speaking on their inclusion Gareth Jenkins said, "We have also called on Aled and Jamie to come and train with us in the light of some acute injury problems we have in the backs.
"They will be with us on a day-by-day basis and it is a real opportunity for them both as youngsters to get used to the international environment.
"We have taken a conscious decision to look forward and tap into the quality we have in age-grade rugby. Both are talented individuals and, if our injury problems persist, we are confident that if called upon either player could do a job for us."
