Wales captain Sam Warburton thinks Bristol back Matthew Morgan is a "great inclusion" in the World Cup squad.
The 23-year-old Morgan has only been capped twice by Wales, both times as a replacement, but has been named as one of six outside backs by coach Warren Gatland in the 31-man World Cup squad.
And, having been watching Morgan closely in training, Warburton is delighted he has made the cut.
Warburton said: "I do not pick the squad but, if I was the coach, I would like to have seen Matthew Morgan because, like Warren said, he does have that X factor.
"We did a training game recently against the Ospreys. He got the ball - and I can't remember what he did - but he turned a two-on-three into a two-on-one and put someone in at the corner.
"I was on the sideline looking, and went 'wow'. He does these magic moments in training, and he is brilliant.
"He would mesmerise opposition with his footwork, similar to Shane [Williams, Wales' record try-scorer], who would come off his wing and play first-receiver.
"As a defender, it is a nightmare to defend against. When he runs at you from a distance you cannot do anything but sit on your feet, because you do not know what he is going to do.
"He is a great inclusion, really exciting, and he will add something different to the back-three."
Taulupe Faletau is set to earn his 50th cap during the tournament and Warburton is also expecting big things from his back-row colleague.
"Toby Faletau is in the best physical shape I have seen him ever," said the skipper.
"It is the hardest I have seen him train this summer, and by comparing him to four years ago, he is an absolute beast.
"He used to be quite relaxed in the gym, laid-back to say the least. This summer, he has trained so hard. His shape physically, he is an animal at the moment.
"Someone asked me before who I was excited about at this World Cup, and one of the boys would be Toby. The bigger the game, the better he plays. I think he will be awesome for us."
