Morgan Morris returned to the Ospreys lineup after a season riddled with setbacks, making ten appearances in 2025‑26. A foot operation and calf problems kept him out until mid‑December, and a clash with the Lions forced a second exit in January. He now insists the setbacks are behind him and he is ready to contribute.

The injury‑hit campaign has prompted Ospreys coach Mark Jones to praise Morris’s resilience and hint at a Wales call‑up. With Steve Tandy’s squad reshaped after Taulupe Faletau’s injury, back‑rower could earn a debut in the summer tour against the Barbarians, Fiji, Argentina and South Africa, could be a gateway for the upcoming summer series.

Ospreys finish the season with a final home fixture against the Scarlets before a trip to Leinster, while the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup semi‑finals loom. The squad, already dealing with off‑field protests, remains motivated to secure wins and keep the morale high as key players prepare for the next campaign for the upcoming season.

With captain Jac Morgan heading a list of departures, the Ospreys have rallied around new back‑row talents like Gloucester‑bound Jac Morgan and Harri Deaves. Their collective experience and physicality have steadied the squad, allowing the team to finish strong despite missing top‑eight ambitions and to focus on rebuilding in the coming year for the season.
