Haskell named on bench for England's test with Australia

Flanker James Haskell will be a replacement for Saturday's opening Autumn International against Australia at Twickenham.

The former Maidenhead RFC youngster was tipped to start the match for England following a string of injuries and a good start to life with Stade Francais.

However, England boss Martin Johnson has left Windsor-born Haskell on the bench and opted for a back row of Ascot-born Lewis Moody, Tom Croft and Jordan Crane - all Leicester Tigers players.

Harlequins' Ugo Monye, whose family hail from Cippenham, lines up in the No.15 shirt.

England (vs Australia): U Monye (Harlequins); M Cueto (Sale Sharks), D Hipkiss (Leicester), S Geraghty (Northampton), M Banahan (Bath); J Wilkinson (Toulon), D Care (Harlequins); T Payne (Wasps), S Thompson (Brive), D Wilson (Bath), L Deacon (Leicester), S Borthwick (Saracens, capt), T Croft (Leicester), L Moody (Leicester), J Crane (Leicester). Replacements: D Hartley (Northampton), D Bell (Bath), C Lawes (Northampton), J Haskell (Stade Francais), P Hodgson (London Irish), A Goode (Brive), A Erinle (Biarritz).
