Morgan leads from front in emotional tribute to cousin

BBC Sport

Playing in a special jersey that was embroidered with a tribute, the open-side scored a try and made telling contributions in both attack and defence. "He led from the front. He had a tough week and he led exceptionally well and the players got behind him as well," said Ospreys head coach Mark Jones.

"What a way to perform in such a big game as a captain. He was tremendous. " Dad's poor geography leads to De Vera's Wales debut Comebacks, capitulation, ill-discipline and injuries After an emotional performance on Saturday evening, the British and Irish Lions flanker posted a tribute the following afternoon on social media.

"This week I suddenly lost my cousin and best friend Harri," wrote Morgan under a picture of the pair at Principality Stadium in Cardiff. "He meant the world to us as a family. "He loved so much about life, but his greatest joy was playing rugby for Brynamman.

"Yesterday I played my game in honour and memory of Harri. It felt important to go out there and make him proud, playing the game that he loved. " Brynamman said that the loss of their vice-captain left "a hole that will never truly be filled".

"A true warrior, immensely talented, and fiercely dedicated, Harri gave everything to the game, to his team-mates and to this club," said a club statement. Jac Morgan will leave Ospreys to join Gloucester for the 2026-27 season Morgan has three games left at Ospreys before leaving for Gloucester, with Friday's Welsh derby at Cardiff (19:00 BST) followed by a final home fixture against Scarlets and a trip to Leinster. The flanker has rapidly got back to his best after recovering from a dislocated shoulder suffered when scoring for Wales in the autumn opener against Argentina, a blow that meant he could not lead his country in the Six Nations.
