BILLY TWELVETREES will start his first game of the 2014 QBE Internationals against Australia at Twickenham on Saturday (2.30pm, live on Sky Sports HD). The Gloucester Rugby centre (right) replaces Owen Farrell (Saracens) who moves to the replacements’ bench, while Northampton Saints pair Tom Wood and Dylan Hartley take over from James Haskell (Wasps) and Rob Webber (Bath Rugby) at flanker and hooker respectively. The same match day 23 who beat Samoa will be on duty and England Head Coach Stuart Lancaster said: “It’s good to be able to give Billy his first start of the series. He took on board the feedback we gave him when he first came into camp and he has worked hard both with us and at Gloucester and deserves his chance. Owen is a key part of our squad and I am sure he will make a positive contribution should he get the chance. “The Samoa game gave us the opportunity to give James Haskell and Rob Webber a start and they made a good contribution. Tom and Dylan were disappointed not to be in the XV last week and they are desperate to go out and perform on Saturday so we finish the series on a high.” England (v Australia, QBE International, Saturday, November 29, 2.30pm, live on Sky Sports HD) 15 Mike Brown (Harlequins, 32 caps) 14 Anthony Watson (Bath Rugby, 3 caps) 13 Brad Barritt (Saracens, 21 caps) 12 Billy Twelvetrees (Gloucester Rugby, 15 caps) 11 Jonny May (Gloucester Rugby, 10 caps) 10 George Ford (Bath Rugby, 5 caps) 9 Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers, 41 caps) 1 Joe Marler (Harlequins, 25 caps) 2 Dylan Hartley (Northampton Saints,60 caps) 3 David Wilson (Bath Rugby, 40 caps) 4 Dave Attwood (Bath Rugby, 15 caps) 5 Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints, 35 caps) 6 Tom Wood (Northampton Saints, 33 caps) 7 Chris Robshaw (Harlequins, capt, 31 caps) 8 Ben Morgan (Gloucester Rugby, 26 caps) Replacements 16 Rob Webber (Bath Rugby, 11 caps) 17 Matt Mullan (Wasps, 8 caps) 18 Kieran Brookes (Newcastle Falcons,5 caps) 19 George Kruis (Saracens, 3 caps) 20 James Haskell (Wasps, 52 caps) 21 Richard Wigglesworth (Saracens, 15 caps) 22 Owen Farrell (Saracens, 28 caps) 23 Marland Yarde (Harlequins, 6 caps)
