Rugby: England's Morgan to miss rest of season

LONDON - England rugby fullback Olly Morgan will miss the rest of the season because he needs shoulder surgery, ruling him out of the rest of the Six Nations, his club Gloucester said today.

Morgan, who picked up the injury during last week's 43-13 defeat by Ireland in Dublin, will be out of action for at least 12 weeks. "It's a horrendous blow for Olly, Gloucester and England," Gloucester coach Dean Ryan was quoted as saying on the club's website www.gloucesterrugbyclub.com.

Morgan, 21, made his first England start against Scotland in this year's Six Nations.
