The Wales captains looking to conquer England
Wales captains Dewi Lake and Jac Morgan prepare to make their Prem debuts for Gloucester after moving from Ospreys.
In December 2025, two Welsh rugby captains - flanker Jac Morgan and hooker Dewi Lake - made the decision to leave their home team, Ospreys, for English club Gloucester. This decision has been met with criticism, as losing both captains in the same year is seen as careless. The two players, who have been close friends and teammates for a decade, have expressed their enthusiasm for joining Gloucester and believe their bond will help them succeed.
Lake, the new Gloucester captain, is looking forward to the challenge of playing in a new league and testing his game against stronger opponents. Morgan agrees that Gloucester feels like a "home from home" due to the presence of many Welsh players and staff, including those who speak Welsh. The duo is thankful for the opportunities the Ospreys have provided and the friendships they have formed, but they are eager to see how their new chapter with Gloucester unfolds.
