Wales personal assistant Caroline Morgan has opened up on several behind-the-scenes moments from this year’s Rugby World Cup, including Dewi Lake forgetting his suit trousers as well as a truck-load of baked beans being delivered from the UK. There never appears to be a dull moment for Morgan, who has held her role with the Welsh national team for 21 years.<\/p>\n
She’s seen as the glue that holds the Welsh team together with players past and present singing her praises. Some describe her as a “second mum” and the “driving force behind the national team”.<\/p>\n
That’s none more evident than with some of the tasks Morgan is presented with on a daily basis. This World Cup has been no different and she was presented with a trouser emergency just minutes after arriving in France at the start of the tournament.<\/p>\n
“We got to this World Cup on a Sunday and our welcome ceremony was an hour-and-a-half later,” Morgan told the Daily Mail. “I got a phone call from Dewi Lake and he said: ‘Caz, my suit trousers aren’t in my bag’.<\/p>\n

“I knew we didn’t have any spares. We asked Darren Joy our kit man if we could borrow his trousers but they stopped by Dewi’s knees! He’s our co-captain so couldn’t have gone looking like that. Jonathan Humphreys took his off and said: ‘Try these.’ We’re supposed to be working in elite professional sport and there’s Jon taking his trousers off to give them to a player and standing in his boxers.<\/p>\n
“Jon’s trousers fitted Dewi like a glove! We had to let the hem down on Darren’s trousers so Jon could wear them and poor Darren didn’t have a pair so he stayed in the hotel. You couldn’t have made it up! Over the years I’ve ironed things, hemmed trousers and tied ties.”<\/p>\n

She added: “We’ve really struggled to get birthday cakes in France. Warren turned 60 while we’ve been out here and his cake looked like a wedding cake. It had a few tiers but only one of them was real!<\/p>\n “The players love their squash but they’ve gone through it all. You can’t get sugar-free squash anywhere so Tomos Williams’ family brought some over.<\/p>\n “Heinz baked beans, Ketchup and HP Brown sauce all came over on the truck. We got some southern fried chicken gravy mix brought over too because we’re having a KFC night this week! There’s also been an extra supply of Anadin extra delivered for all the headaches I’m given!”<\/p>\n
