TYLER Morgan says the Newport Gwent Dragons youngsters are adopting a 'no fear' approach to trying to force their way into Wales' World Cup squad.

Centre/wing Morgan, 19, is in Warren Gatland's training squad for England 2015 along with 20-year-old centre Jack Dixon and 20-year-old wing/full-back Hallam Amos.

With Lions ace Jonathan Davies out of the tournament after rupturing knee ligaments, uncapped Morgan could well feature in the August warm-up Tests against Ireland and get the chance to blast his way into the 31.

"It's a shame about Jonathan getting injured but it opens a massive door for me," admitted the teenager from Caerleon, who is on a national dual contract.

"There is a lot of expectation on my shoulders, but it's great to have other youngsters around me like Hallam Amos and Jack Dixon.

"We all just like to go out and play when we are together for the Dragons. There is no fear when you have never experienced what it's like to lose in big games.

"All I do is run on the field with a bunch of my mates and some people like to come and watch us."

Morgan was speaking after becoming the first rugby player to win the Bob Humphrys Rising Stars sport award.

The teenager has just one full season in regional rugby and 22 Dragons appearances to his name yet could incredibly feature on rugby's biggest stage.

"I'll just take whatever comes to me, although I would love to make the final World Cup squad," he said.

"When I first came into the Welsh squad for the Six Nations I didn't really think I deserved to be there. Now I feel much more at home in the environment and that's because everyone has made me feel a part of the squad.

"George North has been brilliant - whenever one of us youngsters does something wrong he comes up and has a quiet word and encourages us."

Morgan has been backed to force his way into the final 31 by Dragons head coach Kingsley Jones.

The former Wales flanker and director of rugby Lyn Jones threw the young centre in at the deep end at the end of 2013/14 and he was a key figure last season. Now he fully expects Gatland to do the same with Wales at the World Cup.

"We try to encourage the youngsters at the Dragons and there is no doubt that Tyler has that X-factor about him. He has got natural strength, bags of ability and isn't afraid to train hard," said Jones.

"I believe Tyler is big enough and confident enough to impress the Welsh coaches and make the World Cup squad."
