“No other player in that position has been as influential in this World Cup as he has. He has simply had a sensational tournament so far, both as a captain and as a player, culminating in an outstanding performance in the stunning 40-6 victory over Australia last weekend.Praise indeed from Warburton, who was famously red-carded in the 2011 World Cup semi-final against France for a tip tackle on Vincent Clerc. The French went on to win the game 9-8.
Morgan, Thomas added, was like a hybrid of Warburton, known as a grafting, hard-tackling master of the breakdown who led from the front, and the more attacking-minded Justin Tipuric. Morgan produced one of the moments of the stunning 40-6 victory over Australia — in which he scored a try and also had an assist — as Wales went unbeaten to top their pool.
