Hodgson on Jack Grealish's decision to represent England...

"I am very pleased. I think it is the right decision. He is English, albeit with distant Irish roots. I think he has the talent to become an England player. I was happy he took the bolder decision and what matters now is how he does for Villa. He is aware of that. I was keen to point out that there were no guarantees for him with England."

"The call-up of Dele Alli after only three starts for Spurs could be taken in two ways - the emergence of a bright young talent or a nod to a shallow pool of England talent. Probably a bit of both."

Stuart Lancaster has also touched on Sam Burgess's role in the match against Australia following a mixed match against Wales.

Burgess, who used to play rugby league for South Sydney Rabbitohs before crossing codes to join Bath, has a unique insight into the Australian game, he says.

Lancaster adds: "We look to the positives he brings and the opportunity to bring him off the bench as an impact player. 

"As a player he'll be used if and when appropriate in the second-half."

England head coach Stuart Lancaster, asked about the loss to Wales and how to bounce back: "It was a hugely disappointing defeat but we can't wallow and feel sorry for ourselves."

Moving onto Australia: "It's a huge game, we respect the quality but we know we've beaten them in the last two games." 

Lancaster says the atmosphere in the camp is similar to when England lost to South Africa in 2012 but went on to beat New Zealand 38-21 in the following game.

England manager Roy Hodgson on Danny Ings, Dele Alli and Daniel Sturridge..

"Danny was someone we followed closely last year but he was involved with the Under 21s.

"Dele is the more offbeat one because he is so young but we have been impressed by what we have seen of him. We have so many midfielders out injured and he is an exciting talent.

"It is better for Daniel to concentrate on what is essentially a preseason for him. We can survive without him and we are hoping we see a super-fit player in November. The best way to have him in November is to leave him in October."

"Liverpool manager Brendan Rogers will be pleased with two aspects of England manager Roy Hodgson's latest squad - no early recall for Daniel Sturridge and the first call-up for fellow striker Danny Ings.

"Rodgers is determined Sturridge's return from long-term injury problems will not be rushed, a position understood by Hodgson as he is in no hurry with England already qualified for Euro 2016.

"The call-up for Ings is reward for his energetic displays that have made him one of the plus points in Liverpool's indifferent start to the new season.

"And as Hodgson starts to look at his options for France with qualification secured, it will be intriguing to see how 19-year-old Spurs midfield man Deli Alli acquits himself. There is a lot of excitement surrounding the youngster, who has been handed a chance to stake his own claim to be at the Euros next summer."

England captain Chris Robshaw has been asked about the days after that crucial, ill-fated decision late in the game to go for the winning try against Wales.

He says: "You do run things over but you've got to move forward quickly. You take the rough with the smooth with this game. We've got a massive game now [against Australia] so you can't sit and sulk."

Stuart Lancaster has been speaking at the England news conference. Asked about his job possibly being on the line: "I'm not going beyond this game really, there's a lot to play out in the next two weeks. 

"I'm just getting this team prepared... if you start distracting yourself with 'what ifs' you're not doing your job."

A Question of Sport Teaser

It's a rugby-themed Question of Sport teaser today, unsurprisingly. We're asking which five men have scored a try for @WelshRugbyUnion, external at this year's @rugbyworldcup, external?

We'll bring you the answer a little later on.

Australia have postponed their tour of Bangladesh because of security concerns.

It's not going particularly well at the moment for Britain's Johanna Konta who is taking on Venus Williams in the quarter-finals of the Wuhan Open.

Konta is 5-2 down against the American and will be serving to stay in the opening set.
