Farrell named in England Lineup

England have named Andy Farrell at inside centre for Saturday's World Cup quarter-final against Australia. The former rugby league star's form has been questioned but coach Brian Ashton is banking on him forming a decisive midfield link with Jonny Wilkinson.

Phil Vickery replaces Martin Corry as captain, but the Leicester man retains his place in an unchanged back row.

Jason Robinson returns from injury at full-back, while Mathew Tait partners Farrell at outside centre.

Matt Stevens, who kept Vickery out of the team in England's last match against Tonga, has to settle for a place on the bench alongside Lawrence Dallaglio, Joe Worsley and Dan Hipkiss.

Veteran Mark Regan has been picked to start ahead of George Chuter at hooker, while Lewis Moody keeps his place at open-side flanker with specialist number seven Tom Rees out of the squad altogether.
