Jac Morgan remains optimistic that Wales are steadily catching up to the world’s top rugby teams, even after difficult Nations Championship losses against Argentina and South Africa. While Steve Tandy’s squad began the tournament with a strong 39-24 win over Fiji in Cardiff, they struggled in subsequent heavy defeats to the Pumas and the Springboks. Despite South Africa cruising to a 43-0 victory while fielding several debutants, Morgan maintains that the Welsh side is making meaningful strides.
Morgan, a British and Irish Lions representative, points to recent improvements seen during the Six Nations and the summer campaign as evidence of the squad’s growth. Although Wales finished their season with three victories from 12 matches, the flanker emphasizes that the group is gaining valuable experience by playing together. Now playing for Gloucester following his transfer from the Ospreys, Morgan highlighted the team’s commitment to continuous improvement as they prepare for next year’s World Cup.
The Welsh team, currently ranked 11th globally, is looking ahead to a challenging November schedule that includes matches against Japan, New Zealand, and Australia. Morgan expressed pride in the collective work ethic shown throughout the season, noting that the players remain dedicated to learning and refining their performance as a unit.
