Ben Morgan wants to repay England faith

England back-row Ben Morgan is looking to repay England's faith in him after recently recovering from a broken leg.

England number eight Ben Morgan has said that he is looking to repay the faith Stuart Lancaster and England have shown in him when the Rugby World Cup kicks off on Friday night.

Morgan suffered a broken leg in January and only returned to rugby one month ago, but he has been picked to start against Fiji in the tournament opener.

"It's a great amount of faith taken by them, and obviously I'm grateful for that," the Gloucester back-row told BBC Radio 5 live. "But it's something that I hope I can repay back straight away.

"I've not really allowed myself to doubt. I've been lucky with the medical team that I have, they've been superb, and worked really hard from the get-go. I just tried to positive throughout the whole experience, and just allowed myself to say: 'Right, if I make it, I make it, if I don't, I don't; but I know I've tried my hardest.'

"I'm just looking forward to getting stuck in to the next game. We train at such a high intensity - I know there is no experience like a game - but the intensities we are training at are replicating that."

England have named an unchanged side from the one that beat Ireland in the last World Cup warm-up game.
