Rugby: Lions will be without a single Welshman for the first time since 1896

# Rugby: The British and Irish Lions will face the Wallabies in the first Test in Brisbane tomorrow without a single Welshman in the team – for the first time since 1896. Jac Morgan is the last remaining Welsh player in the touring squad after Tomos Williams was injured last month. The team consists of 11 Irish players, nine Englishmen and three Scots. Head coach Andy Farrell says Morgan, who excelled during the Lions’ recent victory over the Reds, lost out because there are so many brilliant loose forwards.
