Wales captain Jac Morgan is set to miss the rest of his side’s autumn campaign after suffering a dislocated shoulder against Argentina.

The Wales captain was his usual excellent self, but injured himself as he scored Wales’ third try of the match.

Landing awkwardly and going off holding his lower arm gingerly, Tandy said after the match that Morgan suffered a dislocated shoulder, ruling him out of the rest of the autumn. If he requires surgery, Wales will be sweating on his involvement in the Six Nations next spring.

“It’s not looking good for Jac,” Tandy admitted after the 28-52 defeat.

“It is a massive blow. He’s a world-class player, he’s huge for us and we know how much he loves playing for Wales and how he leads the team.

“I’ve seen him in the changing rooms, he’s devastated. Ultimately, it’s just about Jac now recovering.”

Tandy is set to call up a replacement with Morgan missing this month’s Tests against Japan, New Zealand and South Africa.

The question of who replaces him in the squad is a tough one. Morgan was the only out-and-out openside flanker in the original squad, as the likes of Harri Deaves and Tommy Reffell were overlooked.

Whether either of those come in – or a more left field option like Josh Macleod – remains to be seen. Wales will miss Morgan the player and captain for the rest of this month.

“Jac was outstanding and the try he scored was unbelievable from that distance,” Tandy said.

“It’s a blow. Not only just the player, but the man. With this group, we spoke about having tough moments in this journey.”

“We’ll definitely call someone up and will discuss that after assessing things in the next 24 hours,” added Tandy.

“We’ve got some really good players. Tommy [Reffell] is an outstanding international, playing well for Leicester while Harri Deaves has been unbelievable for the Ospreys for a consistent period. So we’ve got options.”

Dragons number eight Aaron Wainwright was also forced off the field in the second half with “cramp”.

Tandy added: “We’ve got to look at him and assess him over the next couple of hours.”
