🏉 Rugby Round-Up! 🏉
Jac Morgan is itching to hit the field again! Mark Jones has hinted that the Wales captain could make his grand return this Saturday against the Dragons. After recovering from a calf injury, Morgan is “bursting to play.” But Jones assures fans they’ll only let him loose if he’s 100% ready. They’ve been carefully managing his return by keeping him close to home and away from lengthy travels.
Meanwhile, there’s a big blow for the Springboks! Jan-Hendrik Wessels has been slapped with a nine-game ban after a rather shocking incident. In a match against Connacht, Wessels was caught grabbing an opponent’s genitals! The act, although fiercely contested, led to heavy consequences. Now, he’ll be sitting out the entire autumn tour against teams like Japan, France, and Wales. Ouch! Similar incidents have seen players like England’s Joe Marler face the music too.
In other news, Eddie Jones has thrown a bit of shade towards England, suggesting that they won’t hire another non-English boss anytime soon. The former England coach, now with Japan, said the English have a tendency to look down on Australians. His candid thoughts came as he expressed his camaraderie with fellow Aussie Ange Postecoglou, recently sacked by Nottingham Forest. Jones shared his own tough times, empathising with the ups and downs of coaching at the top level.
