GLOUCESTER number eight Ben Morgan is the man who responded to the last-minute crisis of English chef Eddie Jones at the fall international meeting; that's what Mike Brown, the red back of the Red Rose, says.
Morgan was taken away from the international nature after a three-year absence. rewarded for his form at the start of the season in Gallagher Premiership at Gloucester.
The mighty number 8, limited to 31 times by England and a pillar of former boss Stuart Lancaster, now has a chance to win a World Cup clash in 2019 in the absence of the missing trio Billy Vunipola, Nathan Hughes and Sam Simmonds.
The inclusion of Morgan in Team Jones' 36-man squad for the fall internationals has been a left-wing call for many, while his Gloucester teammate, Danny Cipriani, has been totally missed although he impressed in the last match against South Africa in June as the September player in the Premiership.
The 29-year-old Morgan has not played for England since the World Cup defeat against Australia in October 2015, but is in the lineup of an injured striker.
And Brown, who played a lot with Morgan at the international level, supported forward Cherry and Whites to seize the opportunity with both hands.
"This shows that doors are never closed for anyone," said Brown, one of Jones' favorite lieutenants, also selected for the fall.
"I realized that I had not been working in England for four or five years earlier in my career and that if you continue to work hard and produce performance, you'll be noticed, and that's what Ben (Morgan ) did.
"It's disappointing to see injuries, but a man's disappointment is an added advantage for another. I hope that he will arrive at the camp and that he will be successful.
"I'm excited by the team. I am delighted that there are many new faces that will bring a lot of new energy and different voices.
"It shows the full depth of our strength and I can not wait to get into the camp and do my best to be chosen."
England will face South Africa on 3 November before facing the New Zealand, Australian and Australian world champions on successive weekends, which promises to be an autumn for Jones and his rivals. men.
In the perspective of next year's World Cup, Jones continued to examine the talent of the youngest, with Joe Cokanasiga of Bath, 20, and Ted Hill of Worcester, among the eight non capped.
But the Australian coach faced a mini-crisis in the striker, blocked by Joe Launchbury and the Mako Vunipola accessory, the number 8 Hughes was banned for six weeks and Chris Robshaw and Vunipola were also injured.
None of these developments is welcome in a team that has dropped to six losses in its last seven games, including in the last row focused on the breakdown, an area in which Brown believes that England needs to be skeptical. Improve in November.
"We have to learn from the last 12 months, which has resulted in losses," said Brown, the previous player with 72 caps.
"Things like discipline, failure – we've learned a lot about those losses – these are the two most important things we need to improve and, of course, we have a new defense coach (New Zealand's John Mitchell ). .
"We have to understand how he has changed things and we have worked on some attack adjustments we have worked on in the short time we have had together so far.
"All these things we have to put on the ground, for me although I'm just working to be selected!"
The English group includes Dylan Hartley and Owen Farrell as co-captains, as well as another cold man who named after Chris Ashton, 31, who played for the last time in June 2014 for England.
The good news follows in the back where the British and Irish lion Ben Te'o, who is expected to return from a thigh injury for Worcester this weekend, joins the center, Manu Tuilagi.
After winning his first 17 tests at the helm of England, Jones is under pressure after a 2018 nightmare, but Brown has explained the Australian's management style compared to his former coach Stuart Lancaster.
"He (Jones) watches every part of rugby, whether he's involved or not, he's watching him all the time and we get messages all the time," added Brown, who spoke on behalf of Land Rover at a press conference. training session at Kingston RFC.
"That's good, you want to know where you are and what you need to work on to be selected. It's better than before, when you have not been contacted for a few months and you have been selected or not.
"You do not know where you are, why you are not selected and what you need to do. It's great that he's in regular contact.
"We get text messages from Eddie quite regularly, but you do not get much, I did not hear about him in the last game, but I had already played the game before.
"He is not a man to say things for pleasure, if he has something to say, he will say it and it will be to the point!"
