Teenage Welsh rugby player to undergo brain surgery after incident during match

A 13-year-old rugby player will have life-saving surgery after an underlying brain issue was discovered following an incident on the field.

Last October, Dylan Morgan was playing for Bargoed under-13s in a Dragons Cup Match against Monmouth RFC when he entered a ruck and took a knee to the head. He sustained a significant head injury which led to him being put into an induced coma. You can read more about the incident here.

Dylan was initially tended to by the Welsh Air Ambulance who treated him on the pitch but the pressure inside the helicopter cabin was deemed dangerous for Dylan so they waited for the regular ambulance and rode with him to Heath Hospital in Cardiff.
