TYLER Morgan hopes his versatility can help him play a major part in Newport Gwent Dragons' crucial clash with Munster at Rodney Parade on Friday.

The 19-year-old suffered a knee injury after falling awkwardly when tackled by Wales fly-half Dan Biggar in the loss to the Ospreys in round two of the Guinness Pro12.

He made his return to action in the crazy 51-35 LV= Cup win against the same opponents at the Brewery Field last weekend.

Morgan, who Wales coach Warren Gatland said would have been in the running for the autumn internationals were it not for his injury, started on the wing in Bridgend before moving to midfield late on.

There will be fierce competition in midfield now that the Dragons' injury crisis is easing so Morgan is glad to have another string to his bow.

He said: “It was good to be back against the Ospreys and there was a lot of space on the wing but I prefer playing 13 and it was nice to have a little bit of a go there.

“I am just happy to be on the field and will play anywhere that the coaches ask me to.

“It’s been good to get some boys back from injury in training and we have some numbers in the backs sessions now. Me, Ross Wardle and Ashley Smith are back and Pat Leach and Jack Dixoxn aren’t far off either so soon there will be really strong competition for places in midfield.

“We need that to help improve; we need to push each other and nobody can be comfortable in their place.”

Morgan didn’t get too many opportunities to dazzle against the Ospreys last weekend as the pack had total dominance up front to rumble over for three tries from driving lineouts in the first half while the rain came pelting down in the second half.

He said: “You can’t complain when the forwards are scoring tries like that! Everything went to plan in the first half and we let it slip a bit in the second half.

“But it was still the perfect build up to Munster and we have some confidence now.”

The Dragons have lost their last three in the Pro12 since their sole success against Treviso.

Only the Italian pair are beneath them in the table, although Cardiff Blues have also made a shocking start to the campaign and are in ninth because they have scored more tries than their regional rivals.

Munster haven’t played since beating the Blues in the capital at the start of the month.
