Warren Gatland addresses Wales squad as Jac Morgan's Six Nations message hits the mark
Footage from camp has shown exactly what it's like to be a Wales player on team photo day, with Warren Gatland and Jac Morgan also addressing the squad.
The squad arrived at The Vale Resort on Monday morning, in preparation for the upcoming match against France on January 31. Players took part in various admin tasks like posing for photos and getting their new kit.
In footage posted by the Welsh Rugby Union, it documents what it would be like to be a player in the Wales squad, with a camera attached to an individual for a point-of-view perspective.

It starts off with a sprightly Nick Tompkins pointing towards the camera and saying - "What's going on here?!" - before players collect their kit and get changed. From there, the players headed out to the picturesque setting of Hensol Castle.
Photographers, along with players, decided where they'd be standing, with some seated for the snaps. Uncapped Ospreys man Dan Edwards took a rather large peek into the POV camera for a comical moment.
And then, despite the fact these are elite Test match rugby stars, the boys were required to take all the chairs back inside. You can check out the footage below.
More behind-the-scenes footage shows Gatland and skipper Morgan addressing the squad for the first time.
"Congratulations to the new guys," began Gatland. "We'll do some more stuff in the team meeting on Wednesday, but I think the next thing is about how important the next couple of weeks are in terms of preparing for France."
"Just on that, boys," said Morgan. "I think something that we've done well in the past as a group is how hard we've worked, but let's enjoy working hard over the next few weeks and let's just be positive within ourselves, in this group. Let's enjoy our company, let's enjoy working hard.
"There's a lot of skill, a lot of ability in this group, and it's how hard we're going to work as a group, as a collective, that's going to make us gets the results. And be as positive as we can be, boys."
