Rhodri and his wife Rhian may be part of a large Morgan contingent but they are not shouting about it.<\/p>\n
Cautious of sounding too boastful, they typify the reserved Welsh nature. Call the Welsh anything, just never arrogant.<\/p>\n
But was there a moment they realised their son was special? <\/p>\n
“Jac was named forward of the tournament in South Africa when he went there with Wales Under-18s and I thought then, maybe he is alright,” said Rhian.<\/p>\n
It is said half-jokingly, but they are immensely proud. If Wales were only going to have one Test Lion on this trip, they have a true Welshman. <\/p>\n
More comfortable conversing in his native tongue than English, actions speak louder than words for the hard-working back rower, humbly representing the Welsh village he is from and now the nation.<\/p>\n
If Morgan means a lot to Cwmtwrch, what does the village mean to him?<\/p>\n
“Everything really,” says Rhian.<\/p>\n
“He’s with his own there. They’ve always backed him, not just for his rugby but for him as a person. <\/p>\n
“He’s as comfortable with three-year-olds as the 80-year-olds who are sitting by the bar.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
