Former scrum-half Andy Nicol also agreed that Morgan, who is the only Wales player remaining on the trip and was making his Lions Test debut, did 'nothing wrong'.
Nicol told the BBC's Rugby Union Weekly podcast: 'He was always low. The 'jackaler' went in and put his head in a dangerous position and Jac cleared him out.'
'I was watching in the stands and said if this is turned over, it's the end of rugby.'
'That was a classic rugby incident. That's how Jac Morgan and every player is taught and coached to clear out a ruck.'
Australia coach Joe Schmidt says Jac Morgan's clearout in the lead-up to the British and Irish Lions' series-clinching try should have been penalised.
