Overview
- The Ospreys pair will complete this season in Wales before moving to Kingsholm for the 2026–27 campaign.
- Dewi Lake has been named to captain Ospreys against Munster on Saturday, his first game since leading Wales against South Africa.
- The WRU said it is disappointed but realistic about departures, citing work to build a new elite structure and confirming it has guaranteed existing player contracts and support for signings.
- Both remain eligible for Wales under the 25-cap rule, with Lake on 26 caps and Morgan over the threshold including his Lions appearances, though the rule is under review.
- Ospreys head coach Mark Jones linked the decisions to ongoing uncertainty around the WRU’s plan to license three regions, and he expressed hope the players could return in the future.
