‘Nervous’ Jac Morgan ready for emotional final Ospreys home game

Ospreys captain Jac Morgan has admitted that he is feeling “pretty nervous” for his final home game for his club against Scarlets.

Morgan is set to captain Ospreys in their final home game of the campaign against their West Walian rivals on Saturday, in what will be Morgan’s last run out in front of the home fans before his move to English side Gloucester.

Morgan, and fellow Wales captain Dewi Lake, announced their impending departures from Ospreys in December 2025, with both set to join the West Country side.

Their decision were no doubt brought on because of the uncertainty surrounding the future of Ospreys as a region, following the Welsh Rugby Union’s intention to reduce the number of regions from four to three in the next two seasons.

“I’m pretty nervous for it, to be honest with you,” Morgan said.

“I’ve loved my time here with the Ospreys and the support from all the supporters and everyone has been brilliant over the last few years.

“It’s probably going to be a little bit emotional afterwards.”

The West Walian derby holds a special element for Morgan, who came through the academy at Scarlets before moving to Ospreys in 2021.

He won the first of his 24 Wales caps in a victory against Scotland in 2022 and played two Tests for the British and Irish Lions in Australia last summer.

“I came here when I was only 21 and being able to play here and come through here – especially with the players that were here when I first joined, to learn from them and the coaches, even the backroom staff who’ve helped the journey along the way – has been brilliant,” said the Wales captain.

“I’ve just got a lot of people to thank for everything that they’ve done. I’ve just loved my time here.

“The biggest thing as well is the friends, and everything that I’ve got with the teammates and everyone who’s involved with the club.

“That’s something that I’ll cherish forever. I’m thankful for everybody who’s helped along the way and I’ll continue to be in contact with them for the future.”

Morgan has been unfortunately absent from the international scene for the last six months, following a dislocated shoulder injury in Wales’ first autumn international against Argentina.

The flanker added that he is excited to be back in the red of Wales this summer.

“It is nice to get back into the swing of things, playing a few games. It’s always the toughest part, being injured, but it’s nice to be back out on the field and playing,” the flanker said.

“It’s nice to get back into the routine of it and get a few games under the belt and hopefully some more in the summer.

“It’ll be a great honour to be back involved. Hopefully I get selected, but that’s dependent on Monday and how competitive the back row is, especially in Wales and how the boys played in the Six Nations.

“You can see how much the team are building, how well they’ve been going throughout the Six Nations. It was brilliant to see.

“Speaking to the boys, how much they’ve enjoyed being in the camp. I was there for a couple of weeks back in the autumn, and you can see how exciting it is for the future.

“I’d love to be involved again and excited for it if it does come up.”
