England make three changes for Australia game

Ben Morgan and Jonathan Joseph have returned to England's starting side for the Pool A clash against Australia after missing the loss to Wales through injury.

Head coach Stuart Lancaster has made three changes to the team with Morgan returning in place of the injured Billy Vunipola. Joseph takes his place at number 12 in place of Sam Burgess, who drops to the bench.

Courtney Lawes misses the game through injury and is replaced by Joe Launchbury in the second row. The Wasps lock will be making his first World Cup start.

The game is a must win for England. A loss would ensure they become the first host nation to fail and reach the knockout stages in the history of the World Cup.

Australia named their team earlier today. Michael Cheika has named the same side that started the Wallabies' opening game against Fiji.
