Morgan expresses support for Lake as Wales captain ahead of tournament
Summary

Jac Morgan confirmed his support for Dewi Lake, who remains captain of the Wales rugby team, during a recent media interaction. Lake assumed the captaincy after Morgan's dislocated shoulder prevented him from playing, and he has continued in the role under head coach Steve Tandy. Morgan has returned to the squad and recently played in a victory against the Barbarians, marking his return after missing eight Tests. The Nations Championship tournament begins next weekend with a match against Fiji at Cardiff City Stadium.
