England full-back Olly Morgan has been ruled out for the rest of this season after being told he requires shoulder surgery.
Morgan damaged his right shoulder during England's record 43-13 RBS 6 Nations Championship defeat against Ireland in Dublin last Saturday, and was forced off after just 30 minutes at Croke Park.
The 21-year-old, who has won two caps, will now undergo an operation on Monday to repair labral damage following consultation with a specialist.
He faces 12 weeks' sidelined, and with his Gloucester and England colleague Iain Balshaw still recovering from a groin problem, Wasps wing Josh Lewsey looks likely to wear the England number 15 shirt against France on Sunday week.
