SCARLETS back row forward Aaron Shingler has been called up for Wales’ summer tour to face Tonga and Samoa along with former Newport Gwent Dragons full-back Phil Dollman.

Shingler has been drafted in to replace the Ospreys’ James King and will link up with the party next week after Saturday’s Guinness PRO12 final against Munster.

Uncapped Dollman, 32 from Caerphilly, will also be in action for Exeter Chiefs against Wasps at Twickenham on Saturday in the Aviva Premiership final before heading home as a replacement for Cardiff Blues prospect Rhun Williams.

Athletic Shingler, 29, won the last of his eight caps against South Africa in Durban in 2014 and will battle uncapped Dragons prospect Ollie Griffiths, Thomas Young, Ellis Jenkins and Josh Navidi for a place in the back row.

His versatility makes him a more natural replacement for King than his regional teammate James Davies, who is an out-and-out openside.

Both Griffiths and Navidi are also options at number eight in the absence of Lions pair Taulupe Faletau and Ross Moriarty.

Dollman, who headed to the Chiefs from Rodney Parade in 2009, will be favourite to wear the 15 jersey although either Sam Davies or Gareth Anscombe could move back from fly-half.

"The two players coming in have been in excellent form lately and we're looking for them to bring that level of performance with them," said Wales head coach Robin McBryde, who is in charge while Warren Gatland and Rob Howley are on Lions duty.

"They'll be arriving with their tails up having made it to those finals, so it should be a boost for them as well as us."

"You have to account for injuries in this game - especially at this stage of the season - so we're not shocked when these things happen,” he continued.

“It's a big blow for the players who are missing out, but for someone like Rhun, who's only 19 years old, he's got plenty of time to make his mark with Wales.

"We've got a young squad, but we're not treating this as a development tour.

"We're going to the southern hemisphere to win two Tests, so the selection has to reflect a balance between potential and performance, and the new players will have to reach the high levels of expectation we have of them."

Wales play a warm-up fixture against RGC 1404 in Colwyn Bay on Friday, June 2 before playing Tonga in Auckland on Friday, June 16 and Samoa in Apia on Friday, June 23.
