George Skivington insists he wants Welsh rugby to get back on its feet as soon as possible – despite his cross-border raid to sign Jac Morgan and Dewi Lake for Gloucester.<\/b><\/p>\n

The departure of Wales’ co-captains from Ospreys<\/a> is another hammer blow for a Welsh game bracing itself for the loss of a region under Welsh Rugby Union streamlining plans.<\/p>\n

But with Gloucester facing an important loss of their own, with captain Tomos Williams leaving the club<\/a> at the end of the season, their director of rugby has no qualms about playing the vulture.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think there’s any guilt, because I don’t think the team that are taking Tommy feel any guilt towards us,” said Skivington.<\/p>\n

“What I do feel, and I believe everybody in the rugby community wants, is to see Welsh rugby thrive.<\/p>\n

“There’s a brilliant history of rugby in Wales and the Principality Stadium is absolutely awesome on international days.<\/p>\n

“I remember days in the Heineken Cup where the Welsh teams were ferocious and it was a real tough day to go down there and play. So I think everybody wants Welsh rugby to get aligned and push on.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
