Wales flanker Jac Morgan has described his team's training as "disgusting" as the squad dives deep into psychologically grueling drills ahead of critical fixtures. The brutal approach is stirring debate around his captaincy.

Morgan opened up on the provisions of their recent camp in Switzerland on X. "Every session has been tough in its own way," he said on X. 

Operating at high altitude, squad members were pushed to their limits, with Morgan admitting, "It's probably the hardest I have been trained and been put through my paces but it's probably the best I have felt as well." 

The Welsh skipper praised the collective endurance: "When you look around and everybody is suffering… you know you're not by yourself…"

Amid the intensive training, questions about Morgan's chances on the field are being raised. Ahead of the Six Nations opener, he acknowledged being motivated by criticism.

"It would be great to prove people wrong as not many people are expecting much from us," he said in a press statement, adding that negative expectations are uniting the squad.

This psychological warfare is no coincidence. Under interim attack coach Matt Sherratt, Morgan suggested the team finally found clarity. "It was good to have a clear plan in attack… it felt a bit different and the boys were excited," he said.

As Wales prepares to face France and other heavyweights, Morgan is expected to anchor morale and performance. With grueling training at altitude shaping minds and bodies, all eyes will be on whether Morgan's resilience and leadership can translate into results.
