O2 Inside Line: Episode 2, Season 3

England host the Wallabies tomorrow for the Cook Cup and a chance for the visitors to redeem themselves after their loss to France last weekend. England meanwhile have only made one change to their team, with Chris Ashton returning.

The Wallabies have made four changes to their team as key players Berrick Barnes and Digby Ioane return to replace Mike Harris and Pat McCabe, while up front Sitaleki Timani and Ben Alexander come in for Kane Douglas and Sekope Kepu respectively.

“There aren’t too many challenges in Test rugby that are greater than playing England at Twickenham. We are playing an England side that has been building up under its new leadership, and will see Saturday as the chance to lay down a marker for the future,” said coach Robbie Deans.

England winger Ashton is back following suspension and takes the place of Ugo Monye, while Charlie Sharples moves to the left wing. Ashton scored the IRPA Try of the Year the last time the two sides met at the same venue in 2010.

“The crowd at Twickenham last week were brilliant and we can’t wait to get back there this Saturday and take part in what I am sure will be a very exciting Test match,” said England’s Stuart Lancaster.

In this week’s O2 Inside Line Player Cam returns, Mike Brown and Charlie Sharples analyse the Fiji game, the players talk haircuts, and host Layla announces the Moment of the Match.
