Morgan is no stranger to a fierce contest for the seven shirt in a red jersey and has approached a similar battle on this tour with hard work and drive. <\/p>\n
The 25-year-old has been unfazed by any selection debates and headlines that arose last week when the first Test side was named.<\/p>\n
Curry was given the nod at seven and excelled in the 27-19 win in Brisbane, with the second Test taking place in Melbourne on Saturday.<\/p>\n
”The last week has been no different,” said Morgan.<\/p>\n
“I’ve had the opportunity today and I just try and train and perform the best I can. It’s a highly competitive position and Tom Curry was outstanding on Saturday. <\/p>\n
“He’s a great player and so is Josh (Van der Flier), so the competition is always high in that position and we try and get the best out of each other.”<\/p>\n
Lions head coach Andy Farrell confirmed Irish lock Joe McCarthy has not trained this week following a foot injury.<\/p>\n
While there is still time for him to recover for the second Test in Melbourne, he remains a serious doubt for the weekend.<\/p>\n
If McCarthy is ruled out, it would mean a forward addition to the Test squad with a number of different bench combinations possible, including another back rower which might just be Morgan.<\/p>\n
On the big stage of a Rugby World Cup, Morgan captained Wales to their greatest ever win against Australia in 2023.<\/p>\n
He admits it would be some achievement to face the Wallabies while representing the Lions.<\/p>\n
”It would be a massive honour and a very proud moment to be selected,” said Morgan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
