Morgan Commits to England

England have finally won the race to secure the allegiance of Scarlets No.8 Ben Morgan who has committed himself to play for England in the future.

The young highly rated Scarlets No 8 who was born in England is also eligible to play for Wales having qualified under the IRB's residency ruling. But he has made his decision on who he wishes to represent, which is a huge boost for the future of English Rugby and his name will now be seen across all the Rugby Previews where you can also bet on rugby league

Morgan turned down the opportunity to play for the Saxons in the Summer to keep his options open, while Warren Gartland publicly stated that he would have played Morgan in Wales' game with the Barbarians.

Now having rejected the advances of Wales he has declared himself committed and available for England;

"I feel privileged and honoured that both Wales and England have been following me and it has taken me a while to come to this decision.

"But I'm English, I grew up supporting England and as a youngster I always dreamed of playing for England. Ultimately, if given the opportunity I want to try and take things forward.

"It's not about where I see myself in any squad but about putting my name forward and keeping my head down and playing. If I am lucky to be named in any England squad then fantastic but if not then I will knuckle down and work hard to get myself in a position where I will be."

Whether Morgan makes his England debut in the coming months remains to be seen, but with such a talent he will surely make the England set up sooner or later, and he could well be one of England's most important players for the future!
