Toby Booth names which Ospreys player should captain Wales

Toby Booth has named which Ospreys forward should captain Warren Gatland’s Wales in the coming season. The regional head coach, who is leaving his post at the end of 2024/25, last year saw his club duo – hooker Dewi Lake and back row Jac Morgan – named as co-captains for Rugby World Cup 2023.

Across the five-game Welsh campaign in France, Morgan led the side on three occasions – including the quarter-final versus Argentina and the crucial pool win over Australia – while Lake was twice skipper. Both players missed the following Guinness Six Nations, Lake’s hamstring and Morgan’s knee resulting in Dafydd Jenkins captaining in all five outings.

Morgan unfortunately went on to suffer a hamstring injury and was ruled out of Wales’ summer games, enabling Lake to skipper against South Africa and Australia (twice) despite Jenkins also being involved. Now fit, Morgan has since been named by Booth as his Ospreys skipper for the 2024/25 season, but the coach believes Lake would be better suited to captain Wales.

Appearing on the latest edition of The Rugby Pod, he was asked by co-host Andy Goode if he could pick either Lake or Morgan as Wales captain, who would he choose. “I will actually answer the question,” he replied.

“I could easily dodge that question but I don’t have to be a politician anymore. I’d pick Dewi Lake as captain for Wales because there is less competition for his place (at hooker). The one thing where Wales are right now is they need a little bit of consistency and Dewi Lake can give you that.

“Jac Morgan, I have named him as our captain to take over from (Justin) Tipuric because he has got all the attributes – a lead-by-example captain, doesn’t speak a hell of a lot but when he speaks people listen.

“What a great compliment of our programme really if you think about the two people we are talking about come out of ours, and the previous lot (Alun Wyn Jones etc) have come out of ours and also Adam Beard.

“So from our point of view it shows how deliberate we have been and we have been deliberate about growing leadership here because it’s not going to happen by accident.”

TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY IS A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY


It was a cold morning when I first realized the full extent of my loss. I had invested 150,000 euros into an online crypto platform, believing in their promises and the allure of quick financial success. But as the days passed, I discovered it was all a scam. My money was gone, and with it, my dreams of financial security.

The feeling of helplessness and devastation was overwhelming. I tried everything to recover my funds contacting authorities, searching for solutions online, and connecting with others who had been through similar scams—but nothing seemed to work. I felt completely lost, as though there was no way back.One Sunday, feeling utterly defeated, I decided to visit Grace Church in Dublin, Ireland. I was searching for some peace and comfort. During the service, I shared my story with the congregation, explaining how I had been scammed and lost everything. I didn’t expect much—just a chance to speak to someone.

Afterward, a fellow parishioner came up to me. He had been listening closely, and after hearing my situation, he shared that he had once been in a similar place.

He had fallen victim to a scam too, and like me, thought his money was gone for good. But someone had recommended a service called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY to him. He decided to reach out to them, and with their help, he had managed to recover his lost funds.

He suggested I contact them, believing they could help me too.

Though I was skeptical, I was also desperate, so I wrote down their contact information. That evening, I called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY. From the moment we spoke, I felt a sense of professionalism and empathy that I hadn’t encountered before. They didn’t treat me like just another case. They listened to my story, took my concerns seriously, and reassured me that they would do everything they could to help.The recovery process was detailed and transparent. They kept me updated regularly, explaining each step they were taking. Weeks passed, and though I was anxious, I held onto hope. Then, out of nowhere, I received the incredible news: TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY had successfully recovered 95% of my 150,000 euros. It felt like a miracle. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks to the team at TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was able to regain my financial footing and rebuild emotionally. I’m now more cautious than ever, but I’m also deeply grateful.

Without the kind recommendation from that parishioner at Grace Church, I would never have found the help I so desperately needed.

Today, I’m on the path to full recovery, and I can confidently say that TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY gave me a second chance.

Their dedication and expertise truly made all the difference in my life.
