Prince William recently visited the Principality Stadium in Cardiff and left a lasting impression with new Wales head coach Steve Tandy and captain Jac Morgan. During his visit on World Suicide Prevention Day, the Prince made it clear just how vital he thinks these two are for the future of Welsh rugby.
William, who serves as the patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, was at the stadium to open a new mental health hub. The facility was set up by the Jac Lewis Foundation in memory of Ammanford footballer Jac Lewis, who tragically took his life in 2019.
While the day focused on the importance of mental health in sports, William also had rugby on his mind. After discussing the significance of team support with Morgan, he left Tandy with an encouraging “Good luck, we need you.” The camaraderie continued with Morgan, as William light-heartedly added, “We really need you too!”
Morgan, fresh off the Lions tour, confirmed his fitness to a relieved Prince. Having played a crucial role in the team’s success Down Under, Morgan stands ready to tackle the challenges that await.
With Tandy just settling into his role amid high expectations, Prince William’s send-off resonated with fans and players alike. Welsh rugby is at a crossroads, and the nation’s hopes are pinned on this new leadership to guide it forward. Here’s to a promising new chapter! 🏉👑
