Wales captain Jac Morgan admits nerves ahead of his farewell for the Ospreys on Saturday. The flanker, who joined the region at 21, calls the match “emotional” and says he will cherish memories of teammates and coaches. A shoulder dislocation that sidelined him for the 2025 Six Nations adds weight to the occasion. He will thank the fans who filled the Liberty Stadium each weekend.

Coach Richard Kelly praised Morgan as a model professional, noting his growth from a raw rookie to a British Lion and regional leader. After returning from injury, Morgan delivered a man‑of‑the‑match display against the Sharks, a week after his cousin Harri’s death, reinforcing his reputation for leading from the front. His performance helped Ospreys secure a narrow win against Benetton.

Steve Tandy will announce Wales’s World Cup squad on Monday, and Morgan hopes his recent form earns him a place despite fierce competition in the back row. A strong showing against Ospreys could cement his case, but selection will hinge on the coach’s assessment of players who featured in the Six Nations. Morgan’s farewell match will be a personal benchmark.
