Wales ponder shock call over highly-rated youngster for South Africa tour

Wales are today contemplating a shock call over Ospreys flanker Jac Morgan for the tour of South Africa this summer.

Amid a glut of back-row options, with Tommy Reffell touted for a spot, there is uncertainty about whether the 22-year-old would be included in Wayne Pivac's squad. Many would feel there should be no debate over him, with Morgan having impressed after breaking into the Wales set-up for the Six Nations.

He has also had a fine campaign for the Ospreys. Indeed, the Brynamman product is joint-top of the turnover chart in the United Rugby Championship and has made more tackles in the league than any other Welsh player.

Wales are expecting a stern physical examination in the three-Test series against the Springboks amid suggestions they could include Dan Lydiate in their party.
