 Call-up: Lee Dickson first choice at scrum-half



Stuart Lancaster has named his England starting XV to take on Australia this weekend. As exclusively revealed by Alex Spink in today's Daily Mirror, Lee Dickson has been selected to start at scrum-half, with Ben Youngs on the bench.

Both Vunipola brothers get the call-up, and Chris Ashton will be looking to repay Stuart Lancaster for his faith in the winger with a decent performance against the Wallabies.

Lee Dickson has said that he is aware of the doubters, but that they will spur him on against Australia.

"I like people pushing me or telling me it's not my time. I'll react and get the better of them."

Tomkins will get his first cap in an England shirt this weekend.

England's starting XV against Australia:

Backs : Brown, Ashton, J Tomkins, Twelvetrees, M Yarde, Farrell, Dickson.

Forwards : Vunipola, T Youngs, Cole, Launchbury, Lawes, Wood, Robshaw (capt), Vunipola.
