Wednesday Round-Up
Morgan looking forward to return: England number eight Ben Morgan can’t wait to get back to action when the side face France this weekend. Morgan broke his leg back in January meaning he missed the entire Six Nations and the rest of the season. However he was named in Stuart Lancaster’s pre-World Cup squad and now has a chance to impress. "I just want to get back to the way I was playing before I got injured," Morgan told the England Rugby website. "I had a bit of form before that and the injury came at a bad time. For me now though, it's about getting back out there and doing a job for the team.
"An injury is never great and the timing of this one wasn't helpful in terms of timing, but I've got back in time [for the Rugby World Cup]. "I always stayed positive throughout this whole phase and I've had good medics both here and at Gloucester. It's thanks to them that I'm back in this position.
"It's an honour to wear the England shirt and to have that opportunity again is something I want to hold onto for as long as I possibly can. To get another chance is brilliant, especially in such an important year like this.”
Chiefs re-sign Horrell: The Chiefs look to have re-signed crucial back Andrew Horrell for the 2016 Super Rugby season. Horrell featured at fly-half and centre frequently for the side this year after the injury to Aaron Cruden. Horrell had previously been linked with a move to France as a World Cup joker and Chiefs head coach Dave Rennie is pleased to have a player of his kind in the ranks. "In a world of massive midfielders, Hozza is a point of difference,” Rennie told Stuff."With an intelligent footy brain and quality skill set, his ability to create opportunities for others is first class. Hozza's experience and versatility make him a huge asset to this club.”
"I am excited about our new season," Horrell said. "We have some new coaches and new opportunities. I love playing for the Chiefs and I want to win another title with this group of top lads."
