'Travesty not to pick Jac for Test'

BRITISH & Irish Lions coach Andy Farrell has named his squad for the first Test with Australia this weekend - and it’s fair to say it's caused a bit of a stir.

The decision to omit Jac Morgan, while not unexpected, has been met with a cocktail of bafflement, dismay and, in some cases, outright anger.

The move comes despite Morgan putting in some encouraging displays on this tour, but does nevertheless further underline the decline of Welsh rugby in recent years.

His absence hasn’t really come as a shock, however, with reports emerging on Wednesday that Tom Curry would start in the number seven jersey, but it will nevertheless leave a bitter taste for many fans on this side of the border.
