Wales wing Josh Adams believes that World Cup co-captains Jac Morgan and Dewi Lake will be “massive figureheads” during the build-up to Australia 2027 games
The dust has yet to on Wales’ World Cup campaign in France, which was ended by quarter-final opponents Argentina games
And while the immediate reaction is one of major disappointment that Wales could not reach a third semi-final in the last four tournaments, a new generation of talent is emerging games
Morgan, 23, and 24-year-old Lake are at the forefront, having shone at their first World Cup through leadership and performances games
“We have two young captains in Dewi and Jac, and they have led us incredibly well and are a huge voice for us,” Adams said games
“I have enjoyed playing under them and for those two especially, there are massive careers ahead for them games
“They will no doubt be in the next four-year (World Cup) cycle and they will be massive figureheads for a lot of young lads in this team moving forward games
“I am sure they will drive the standards up even higher games
”Lake, meanwhile, has vowed that crestfallen Wales will kick on following the Argentina loss, which came after an unbeaten pool phase that delivered victories over Australia, Fiji, Georgia and Portugal games
Wales face the Barbarians in Cardiff on November 4, then play opening Six Nations opponents Scotland three months later games
“Emotions go up and down, but it is tough to take,” Lake said games
A loss in a World Cup quarter-final with tears streaming down your face, that is a feeling you never want againDewi Lake“We were not given a lot of hope from people coming into this tournament games
A lot of people said we were not going to get out of the group games
“We will learn a lot from this and a lot of boys are at their first World Cup games
“You don’t learn a lot from winning constantly games
Learning comes from losing games and seeing where you can get games better and where you went wrong games
These are the type of games that build character games
“A loss in a World Cup quarter-final with tears streaming down your face, that is a feeling you never want again games
We will kick on from here games
”One player no longer part of Wales’ plans is fly-half Dan Biggar, who has retired from Test rugby after winning 112 caps and scoring more than 600 points games
Whether any of his colleagues follow him into international retirement remains to be seen, but Toulon star Biggar’s 15-year impact on Wales has proved significant games
Lake added: “Any time you lose a figure like that it is a tough loss games
He has given his time in Welsh rugby, he is a (caps) centurion, a Lions tourist, a leader, he has been unbelievable in a Lions and Wales jersey games
“What he has given to Wales with the sacrifices, he has taken hits like no other 10 I have seen in world rugby and a lot of people would agree with that games
“In terms of his leadership and speaking after games, we will miss him and I think he will miss us as well games
“He has been an unbelievable ambassador for Welsh rugby and has inspired a lot of people old and young games

Former England captain Michael Atherton said the current one-day side could be “at the end of the cycle” after another dismal batting display at the Cricket World Cup games
Defending champions England won the toss in a must-win group game against Sri Lanka but were bowled out for 156 in just 33 games
2 overs games
Sri Lanka raced to an eight-wicket win in 25 games
4 overs as England’s fourth defeat in five games was sealed in the shortest match of the tournament games
Sky games Sports pundit Atherton said: “It’s all very saying what you want to do when you’re struggling and down on confidence, it’s not always easy to put those fine words and aspirations into practice games
“We’ve all been there in teams that are low on confidence and are struggling games
No team has a divine right to be at the top of its game all the time games
”Ben Stokes (43) and openers Jonny Bairstow (30) and Dawid Malan (28) were the only batters to make any impression as wickets fell at regular intervals against a Sri Lanka side who had also won only one of their first four matches games
Atherton added: “We’ve looked at the factors over the last five games of this competition, but if you look a bit deeper you could argue this is a team at the end of the cycle games
“You could argue that the lack of 50-over cricket and the lack of England’s ability to put what they consider to be their best one-day team in 50-over cricket has camouflaged some of the weaknesses and decline that we’ve seen games
“It’s all come together in the performances we’ve seen in Mumbai over the last couple of days and this one here in Bengaluru games
”Fellow pundit and former England captain Nasser Hussain said it was a “lame excuse” to blame the structure of English cricket and not the players, several of whom lifted the trophy at Lord’s four years ago games
Hussain said: “What I don’t like is giving players a cop out and I think we sometimes do that in English cricket games
“When they win the 50-over World Cup and the 20-over World Cup (we say) ‘Aren’t they great? They’re brilliant’ games
And when the wheels come off ‘it’s the structure of English cricket (at fault) games
We’re a disgrace games
We play 20-over cricket, we play 100-ball cricket, we don’t play enough 50-over cricket’ games
“How much 50-over cricket domestically has Virat Kohli or Heinrich Klaasen played, or anyone out here games
They just don’t play it domestically, they learn from T20 franchises around the world games
“It’s such a lame excuse games
You’re giving the players a cop out when you blame the structure – the structure that made them world champions games
It is exactly the same structure games
”England appeared under-cooked coming into the tournament with one warm-up game against New Zealand completely washed out and a win over Bangladesh affected by rain games
Hussain said: “Yeah, you may have taken the eye off the ball a little bit and not given them enough practice and games leading in to this tournament games
You're giving the players a cop out when you blame the structureFormer England captain Nasser Hussain“But it was the structure that produced them so, when they mess up, it’s they who messed up and not the structure games
“County cricket makes the cricketers that we are, whether it be The Hundred, The Blast, 50-over, whatever and – when they fail – they take the responsibility in my opinion games
”England are back in action against tournament favourites India on Sunday, while they also have to play Australia, Netherlands and Pakistan games
