Morgan Morris will join Ospreys' centurion club when he runs out against Bulls this weekend.

Voted the region's player of the year for the past three seasons, Morris says his 100th cap will be a "super proud" moment.

But there is something perhaps surprisingly amiss on the 26-year-old's CV - a Wales call up.

Despite regularly topping United Rugby Championship stats and putting in player-of-the-match performances, the homegrown number eight has so far been overlooked for international honours.

But it is something that firmly remains a boyhood dream.

"Everyone in Wales wants to play for their country so obviously it's always going to be a goal for me," Morris said.

"But I've got to focus first on my Ospreys games."

Morris faces stiff competition from the likes of Taulupe Faletau, Aaron Wainwright and Taine Plumtree when head coach Warren Gatland announces his Wales squad for the autumn internationals later this month.

But Morris says he has tangible goals after talking to Wales forwards coach Jonathan Humphreys a few weeks ago.

He was told to work on "getting more involvements in the game both sides of the ball".

"I think it's good that I've had the feedback," said Morris.

"Now I've got something to work on, so I know what needs to happen in order to push on to get into the camp."

Ospreys head coach Toby Booth sees Morris as "one of my own" and a shining example of an academy product.

"I've seen him grow and mature into a player that is now more vocal, a leader and adding different things to his game, both with and without the ball," he said.

"You don't get 100 caps in this league by accident and for him to do it in such a short time is a testament to him as a person and his dedication."

Booth said the feedback from Wales is something that he too has alluded to about Morris' game on and off the ball.

"When you move up a level to international rugby you probably need a little bit more of a well-rounded game," he said.

"Everyone knows what he does with the ball, he's very good at it, and he's been working exceptionally hard so his performances against international players and top eight teams are really important.

"He was very good against the Stormers and he was very good for example in Leinster away last year, so like anything, he is a work in progress and wants to get better.

"But ultimately, as I always say, the people who pick that [Wales] side they know what they want and what they need."
