Jamie George reveals talks with World Cup-winning England captain Eoin Morgan

England's cricketers beat New Zealand in the World Cup final last month.

Jamie George has been tapping into the brains behind England's cricket World Cup triumph as Eddie Jones' men plot their assault on rugby's great prize.

George has spoken to Eoin Morgan, England's one-day captain who has presided over a remarkable climb to the summit of the game with last month's victory over New Zealand in the Lord's final.

England's rugby team depart for their own World Cup in Japan on September 8 and George can see similarities in the fortunes of the teams.

"I know Eoin Morgan through Saracens and Jason Roy through my mate Sam Billings," Lions hooker George said.

"You can see the parallels in how they had some pretty disappointing campaigns, some tough losses. Very much like us.

"There aren't direct parallels in terms of the way the game is played, but in the team culture and the rest of it.

"That's something Eoin Morgan is very keen on talking about so I have chatted about that with him before.

"He is a very impressive bloke and I have learnt a huge amount from him in terms of what he has done with the England cricket team.

"We have been through very similar challenges. To see them come out the other side and be crowned world champions is fully deserved and I'm very proud of them doing that."
