DURSLEY’S Ben Morgan will find out on Thursday whether he will be in the England team to face Wales at Twickenham on Saturday – or whether national coach Stuart Lancaster will opt for ex-Thornbury back row Billy Vunipola as his starting number eight.
Vunipola's direct running saw him crash over for a final England try in their World Cup opening victory against Fiji and the verdict is that the big back row’s likely to be recalled at the expense of Morgan when Lancaster names his team today.
Morgan gave way to Vunipola after a disappointing first World Cup appearance in the Twickenham drizzle.
Vunipola made the surprising admission after Fiji had been dispatched that he did not know the bonus-point scoring system was in place during the World Cup.
It was the 22-year-old who forced his way over in the dying seconds to secure England the maximum five-point haul and apart from his ignorance of the rules, it was an outstanding evening that saw him give England renewed momentum from the bench.
He said: “"My job off the bench is trying to up the tempo and trying to add to the foundations that have been built," Vunipola said.
"The boys who come on are just building on the foundations of what has already been done by the players who start.
"Everyone wants to start but the position I am in at the moment is very tough and the competition is very high, but that's international rugby."
And if he does get picked, the big number eight said he will not be taking any notice of the legendary mind games that Welsh national coach Warren Gatland likes to play on the opposition in what is a pivotal match in the Pool A Group Of Death that also includes Australia and Fiji.
Vunipola said: “It's good Warren does this, but it only works if you react to it but it is something that we don't really pay any attention to," Saracens number eight Vunipola said.
"Wales are a very good team, they have won so many trophies in however many years, but we won't be falling for any of Warren's mind games.
"He is very good at them and a seasoned professional at what he does so we can't get into that kind of nitty gritty stuff. 
"Mind games don't really interest me. I'm more interested in the fact we are playing Wales at home in a World Cup and I am in it."
