Wales scrum coach Paul James has challenged Ben Warren to build on his impressive cameo appearance in the victory over Fiji.
The Ospreys tighthead scrummaged well upon entering the fray against Fiji and will be an important player for Wales against Argentina in Santa Fe this Saturday.
“I’ve been fortunate to see Ben come through down at the Ospreys,” said James.
“He’s young and he brings loads of energy.
“He’s scrummaged really well in training and that’s why he had his opportunity last weekend.
“I thought once he came on against Fiji he was class. He got go forward on the tighthead side so hopefully if he gets an opportunity again it’ll be good to see him back it up.”
And James is hopeful Wales can get more success at the scrum against the Pumas.
“In fairness to our boys they are loving scrummaging at the moment. We are in a good place,” he added. “All of the boys can’t wait for the challenge.
“After their loss against Scotland last week we know Argentina are going to come out really hard and fast.
“We are just ready for the challenge. What I have said to our boys is don’t try to manufacture anything on your own. You stick to our process.
“You scrummage as an eight and you don’t scrummage individually.
“That’s the big message to our boys.”
