Morgan and Worsley back for England against Irish

England coach Brian Ashton has returned to the team that beat Scotland 42-20 for the Six Nations game against Ireland at Croke Park on February 24.

There are two injury-related changes from the side that were unimpressive in their 20-7 victory over Italy on Saturday, Olly Morgan coming in for Iain Balshaw at full-back and Joe Worsley returning at blindside flanker in place of Nick Easter.

"I've decided to recall Morgan because I don't expect Balshaw to make a full recovery from his injury," Ashton said.

Balshaw suffered the latest in a long line of injuries and was replaced by Mathew Tait late in the first half against Italy.

Morgan, his Gloucester team-mate, made his debut against the Scots and had a solid, though unspectacular game.
