Paul Rees lends a helping hand to Martin Johnson by flagging up some potential stars for England in 2009 in The Guardian.
"Olly Morgan, 23. Full-back, Gloucester
Morgan won two caps in 2007 before suffering a series of shoulder injuries but he has returned to fitness and form with his club this season. He is a more polished player than he was two years ago, as he showed in scoring an outstanding individual try in the win against Bristol at the Memorial Ground last weekend.
"We have known for some time about his bravery, security under the high ball, his tackling ability and his rangy running, but over the last few months he has developed an ability to be a real threat from deep," said the Gloucester head coach, Dean Ryan. "That has given an additional layer to his game that will, over time, make him a much more rounded and consistent player."
