England and Gloucester full-back Olly Morgan considered retirement

Gloucester full-back Olly Morgan has admitted he considered quitting rugby during his lengthy spell out injured.

Confident
While Morgan continues his rehabilitation, his team-mates will be pushing hard to break into the Premiership play-offs. The club are currently fifth, just three points behind Northampton with five games to go. However, Morgan claims the Cherry and Whites are optimistic about their chances. "We've been confident all year and we play our rugby with confidence," he added. "We've had players coming back from injury and we will enter the business end of the season believing we can do it. "We've three games at Kingsholm. They are hard games but if we can come out of those with three wins then we will be in a good position. We've two tough away games as well - against Exeter and Sale - but it is all to play for." The J P Morgan Premiership Rugby 7s kicks off on 1st August at Gloucester with rounds at Franklin Gardens and Allianz Park and the Final at The Recreation Ground.
