Wales concluded their debut campaign under Tandy with three victories from 12 Tests, coming against Japan, Italy and Fiji.

They sit 11th in the global rankings after oddly climbing one spot thanks to Italy's big defeat in Australia, while preparing for next year's World Cup where they meet England, Tonga and Zimbabwe in the pool phase.

"The group has grown stronger, especially through our showings versus Scotland and Ireland in the Six Nations plus the success against Italy," Morgan noted.

"We felt good about the win over Fiji early in the summer since we understand how tough they can be to overcome.

"We must continue progressing and that is exactly what we have done together as a unit. Plenty of insights remain to be gained, yet the more matches we share the greater experience we collect and the further we advance."

Morgan, now confirmed as a Gloucester player following his summer transfer from Ospreys, sat out eight Tests due to a shoulder issue picked up against Argentina in Tandy's opening fixture.

The British and Irish Lions flanker insists Wales are exploring every avenue to shrink that gap without delay.

"We form a tight-knit unit where all are eager to progress," said Morgan, who led the side in Tandy's debut outing.

"I take pride in the commitment shown not only across these past three weeks but over the entire year.

"It is evident that everyone aims to learn, grow and keep building as one squad."

Wales face four Nations Championship matches in November versus Japan, New Zealand and Australia in Cardiff, then meet one more southern hemisphere side during finals weekend at Twickenham.
