The winners and losers as Wales start their autumn fixtures with a heavy loss

It was another chastening afternoon for Welsh rugby as Steve Tandy's side suffered a heavy 52-28 defeat to Argentina at the Principality Stadium.

The reality is Tandy was never going to be able to fix the performances of the national side overnight and this is a long-term rebuilding process.

Despite the heavy defeat Wales showed glimpses of what they are capable of in attack but the negatives outweigh the positives on this occasion.

Here are winners and losers from Sunday.

JAC MORGAN: Despite another heavy defeat the Wales captain was arguably the best player on the field.

Morgan is the only world class player in Welsh rugby at the moment and is streets ahead of almost everyone else in the squad.

It is hard to keep finding superlatives to describe his level of performance.

The 25-year-old always made metres with ball in hand and finished the game as the top carrier while he also made two steals at the breakdown.

Morgan acted as a link man for Tomos Williams' try and scored one of his own in the second-half.

Unfortunately Morgan dislocated his shoulder in the act of scoring and will miss the remainder of Wales' autumn series.

This is a hammer blow for both Steve Tandy and Wales.
