Davies confirmed the region are working around his academic commitments, with exams approaching in the coming months.
“We’ll see how his exams go this year. And if they work out great, that’s fine. If they don’t, then maybe we’ll have to look at how we can support him in some resits,” said Davies.
The situation reflects a broader trend, with younger players gaining earlier exposure as squads are stretched.
Former Wales fly-half James Hook, speaking on Scrum V, said Leggatt-Jones’ emergence highlights both opportunity and challenge.
“Carwyn’s had his chance, it’s crazy he’s still a school kid really,” said Hook.
“For him to be getting that experience and exposure, why not try and blood as many players for next season?
“The youngsters coming through now aren’t always arriving with the same level of experience, and that does make a difference.”
Welsh rugby has seen players break through at a similar age before.
Dan Biggar made his Ospreys debut at 18 in 2008, in a squad that included established internationals such as Hook and Gavin Henson.
The current landscape is different, with reduced budgets and smaller squads placing greater responsibility on younger players earlier in their development.
The next few months will test how that balance is managed – both by the player and the region around him.
