Wales Dealt Significant Injury Setback

Wales have been dealt a significant injury setback as flanker Jac Morgan has been ruled out of Saturday’s test match against South Africa and the upcoming summer tour to Australia.

The 22-year-old Morgan, who served as Wales’ World Cup co-captain with Dewi Lake last year, missed the Six Nations earlier this year due to a knee injury. He has now sustained a hamstring problem while playing for the Ospreys in the United Rugby Championship quarter-finals.

“With Morgan sidelined, Wales boss Warren Gatland will have to make do without a key figure as his side seeks their first win of 2024.”

Inexperienced Line-up for Wales

With Morgan sidelined, Gatland has named an inexperienced line-up, with uncapped Cardiff scrum-half Ellis Bevan set to start and three more potential debutants on the bench – Eddie James, Jacob Beetham, and Jacob Ratti, the latter of whom was only called up on Tuesday amid a second-row crisis.

Cardiff flanker James Botham will start alongside Taine Plumtree and Aaron Wainwright in the back row.
Liam Williams, who is based in Japan, returns to the back three.

The match will take place at Twickenham, as Cardiff’s Principality Stadium is unavailable due to a Taylor Swift concert.
