Shane Williams tells Pivac he should have picked 'Wales' Sam Simmonds' 18 months ago

Wayne Pivac has handed starts in the Wales back row to 15 players since taking over from Warren Gatland as national coach, but he has strangely ignored a forward who has been as consistent as anyone.

According to the United Rugby Championship statistics at the time of writing, Morgan Morris has made more ball carries (126) and beaten more defenders (26) than any other Wales-qualified player in the URC this season.

He has also put in 125 tackles with a 93 percent completion rate and won 15 turnovers, a total exceeded only by his Ospreys team-mate Jac Morgan (19) when it comes to Welsh players.
