Jac Morgan has once again proven his worth on the rugby field, delivering a standout performance for the British and Irish Lions in their commanding 52-12 victory over the Queensland Reds. The Welsh flanker was named Player of the Match after a display that left head coach Andy Farrell singing his praises.

Morgan, who has been a consistent force in the back row, showcased his versatility by excelling in his traditional role at seven, while also demonstrating the ability to adapt to positions six and eight. Farrell, clearly impressed, quipped that Morgan could play "wherever he wants" given his current form.

Key Highlights from Morgan's Performance:

• Try Scored: Morgan powered over for a crucial try, adding to the Lions' dominant scoreline.
• Metres Gained: He carried for an impressive 44 metres, the highest among all forwards on the field.
• Defensive Prowess: Morgan made three turnovers and matched the game-high of 18 tackles alongside captain Maro Itoje and number eight Jack Conan.

Farrell's confidence in Morgan is well-founded, especially considering the fierce competition within the squad. Morgan is up against seasoned players like Tom Curry, Josh van der Flier, and rising star Henry Pollock for the open-side flanker position. However, with Caelan Doris absent from the tour, the number eight role remains open, and Morgan's adaptability could see him fill that gap.

Morgan's Perspective:

Morgan himself is embracing the challenge of versatility. "I want to try and be as versatile as possible," he told BBC Sport. "A lot of boys are trying to play in different positions, so it's just making sure we learn all of our roles within the back row because you never know, with the games coming thick and fast, you could end up playing in any position."

Squad Dynamics:

Despite the competitive environment, Morgan emphasized the strong bond within the squad. "They are all good boys," he said. "I had spoken to a couple of boys [former Lions] before, and they said to go with an open mind and get to know everyone. There are loads of great boys here, which makes it easier - I'm really enjoying it."

Morgan also paid tribute to compatriot Tomos Williams, who was forced to leave the tour due to injury. "I was gutted losing Tomos," Morgan admitted. "He has had a great season for Gloucester and he had been brilliant here as well. Just the character and what he brings to the squad. Everybody likes Tomos and everybody will miss him."

Looking Ahead:

With the Lions continuing their tour, Morgan's performances will be crucial as Farrell finalizes his Test XV. If Morgan maintains his current form, he could very well secure a starting spot, regardless of the position.
