Wales' Jac Morgan Kate Williams win WRWA Players of Year

Jac Morgan has been named Wales men's Player of the Year for the second time by the Welsh Rugby Writers Association, recognizing his leadership as Wales captain during a challenging 2024-25 season and his role in the British & Irish Lions' victorious tour of Australia. Despite a tough year for Wales, Morgan highlighted the special victory in Japan and praised the team's hard work and cohesion. His performances, including a pivotal clearout leading to a Lions series-winning try, earned him high praise and helped end an 18-Test losing streak for Wales in Australia. Morgan reflected on the valuable experience gained from playing alongside and learning from other top back-row players on the Lions. Wales head coach Steve Tandy presented the award, and Morgan expressed optimism about the future under Tandy's guidance. Kate Williams was named the women's Player of the Year at the same ceremony.
