Macs Page: Scarlets wing called up by Wales after Rio Dyer injury blow
Dyer scored his first try of the season at Ospreys after a lively start to the campaign with ball in hand and in the aerial game.
"To be selected and then get an injury is tough," said Wales kicking coach Alex Davies.
"Rio was playing really well for Dragons and his high ball work was excellent. He had been performing really well and fully deserved his spot."
Page scored his fifth try of the season in Cape Town but then hit his head heavily on the ground when attempting to get his sixth.
The 21-year-old was given oxygen as he was helped from the field and will go through the return-to-play protocols before pushing for a first cap.
"In broken field, he is a box of tricks and can definitely expose some of the big players in the wide channels," said Davies.
"He is an all-action player who is powerful, moves the ball and has a good kicking game."
Page joins Scarlets team-mates Ellis Mee and Blair Murray as an option in the back three along with Louis Rees-Zammit, Tom Rogers, Josh Adams and Gabriel Hamer-Webb.
