British and Irish Lions' Welsh chairman Ieuan Evans has urged Jac Morgan's leading compatriots to set their sights on making the 2029 tour to New Zealand. Morgan was originally one of only two Welshmen in the touring squad and won two caps off the bench as Andy Farrell's side beat Australia 2-1. He scored a try in Saturday's final Test defeat in Sydney and was at the centre of the tour's most controversial moment in the second. Morgan's clearout on Carlo Tizzano at a ruck in the build-up to Hugo Keenan's winning second-Test try was deemed legal. Debate over that incident has continued to rage, but Evans wants Morgan's impact at home to serve as inspiration. 'That needs to drive players to say 'ok, I want a piece of the action.
