Lake would Love to continue as Wales Captain



Ospreys hooker Dewi Lake says he would love to retain the Wales captaincy after leading the side in Australia.

Wales lost the Test series 2-0 but Lake impressed after taking over as skipper from lock Dafydd Jenkins, who led his country during the 2024 Six Nations.

Lake's fellow 2023 World Cup co-captain Jac Morgan is fit again after missing the Six Nations and summer tour through injury and the flanker has been named as the Ospreys' new permanent captain.

With Wales facing Fiji, Australia and South Africa in November, Lake says he would like to keep the national role as head coach Warren Gatland ponders his decision.

"I'd love to continue, I'd never turn it down," said Lake.

"It's not my decision to make. There's plenty of good leaders in that team and plenty to come back as well.

"If it's there, I'm never going to turn it down but it could be anyone."
