The leg injury Gloucester's Ben Morgan picked up in the 24-23 win over Saracens will be assessed on Monday with his Six Nations chances in the balance.

Morgan was stretchered off and given oxygen with an injury to his left leg in the 48th minute before James Hook landed a last minute penalty to hand the hosts the win.

"It is always hard at the end of a game to give a diagnosis of an injury but it did not look very good," said Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys.

"At this stage we don't know and we won't know much more until he has been checked tomorrow (Saturday) and then sees a specialist at a full medical review on Monday."

In a game that swung one way and another, Humphreys was pleased to seal the win.

"I went from one emotion to another at the end," he said. "I thought we had lost it and lost the bonus point and then we won it. But I think we were due a bit of luck and the one thing that people cannot question is this team has character.

"The fact that Hooky put over that kick does not just show the character of him but of the team. We are fortunate to have top quality kickers at the club and so I had every confidence he would knock it over."
