“It’s a change up for the next fortnight going into the Heineken Champions Cup, a competition we’re excited to be in, and there’s everything to play for.”

Gloucester lie eighth in Pool A, the final qualifying slot for the knockout stages, having recorded a 22-17 home victory over Union Bordeaux-Bègles in Round 1, and Morgan believes that home comforts could be the catalyst for a strong performance this weekend.

“It’s a hard place to come – they’re going to have to be on their mettle,” warned the England international.

“We’ll have a good training week, get the detail ironed out, but again our focus is on ourselves, make sure that we get our things right and we’ll present a challenge to them.”
