Wales captain Jac Morgan to Miss Start of Six Nations Due to Injury Sustain While Representing his Country in the Autumn Series Opener Against Argentina.
Flanker and Ospreys captain Jac Morgan has suffered a dislocation of the shoulder during their match against Argentina. He was subsequently taken for medical treatment and, after undergoing surgery, is likely to be out of commission for four to five months.
This unfortunate news will undoubtedly come as a significant setback to Wales ahead of their Six Nations campaign, with Morgan expected to sit out the start of the tournament before potentially returning for the final two matches.
In an interview regarding the incident, Ospreys head coach Mark Jones expressed confidence in Morgan's recovery and stated that he was on track to return as soon as possible while emphasizing the importance of the player's health over any potential loss of momentum.
Although a difficult blow, this news should not impact Wales' ability to navigate the tournament without their captain. They are set to open against England on 7 February before hosting France at home and then traveling to Scotland the following week.
If everything goes according to plan, Morgan could still have a chance to return for the final games against Ireland on 6 March and Italy on 14 March.
Despite this setback, Wales will look to draw inspiration from their powerful squad and their successful Springboks counterpart who are facing them in the tournament.

jac morgan is gonna be out for like 4-5 months?? that's so not good!!! 
his absence is definitely gonna hurt wales' chances in the six nations 
but i'm sure they'll find a way to make it work... mark jones said he's on track to return and everything, so fingers crossed for jac! 
maybe he can still come back for the final games against ireland and italy? that would be amazing!!! 
let's hope wales' squad is strong enough to carry him through those tough matches 
u gotta feel bad 4 Jac Morgan 
he's been dealin w/ injuries 4 a while now & this one's got him outta commission 4 a bit 
& Mark Jones seems like a top coach, so he'll prob get Morgan back on track soon 
but I'm kinda thinking that might actually be an advantage for them? 
Ospreys coach Mark Jones seems pretty optimistic about Morgan's recovery though 
. And what's with the "draw inspiration from their powerful squad" line? Is that supposed to be some kind of cop-out? I want to know more about how Wales plans to adapt without their captain... where's the strategy here? 
jac morgan is a huge part of their team his injury timing is super bad they really need him for the six nations 
4-5 months is a long time 
especially with big games coming up like england and france 
σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³οΈ. jac morgan is a big loss, but like ospreys head coach mark jones said, health is more important than any momentum. they've got a solid squad and will probably be fine without him 
. the autumn series opener was always gonna be a tough start anyway
