Morgan damaged his right shoulder during England’s record 43-13 RBS 6 Nations Championship defeat by Ireland in Dublin last Saturday, and was forced off after just 30 minutes at Croke Park.

The 21-year-old, who has won two caps, will now undergo an operation on Monday to repair labral damage following consultation with a specialist.
