The boys were brilliant – Morgan on Wales’ Six Nations

Jac Morgan said he was hugely encouraged by Wales’ Six Nations showing and delighted for his team-mates to finally enjoy a win over Italy.

The British and Irish Lions flanker had been due to lead Wales into the tournament, but dislocated his shoulder during the autumn international against Argentina.

Supporting from the stands, Morgan said he thought “the boys were brilliant”.

“You could see how the boys and the squad were growing, learning and getting better every week,” he said.

“I loved being there to support.

Morgan, 26, returned to action in Ospreys’ defeat by Benetton last weekend and hopes to help his side reach the United Rugby Championship (URC) play-offs before departing for Gloucester next season.

“It was a great feeling being back out with the boys,” Morgan said. “I really missed it over the last few months.

“It’s a tough one getting injured. I’ve picked up a couple now over the last few years.

Ospreys head to Connacht on Saturday (14:15 GMT) sitting 10th in the URC table, six points adrift of the play-off positions.

And Morgan knows – with just five games remaining – every game is now a must-win.

“You want to win every game and it’s going to be a tough challenge with the teams that are coming up,” he said.

“We want to get into the play-offs and try and go as far as we can in Europe as well.

“It’ll be great to be able to achieve that, being able to play in the play-offs a couple of years ago was a great experience to be involved in, and it’s something that you want to get to again, especially as a squad.
