Number eight Nick Easter - a late call up to the squad - is named as a replacement in England's team to face Australia. 

Saracens' George Kruis is named in the squad for the first time in the tournament.

Real Madrid's Gareth Bale has been included in Chris Coleman's Wales squad for this month's Euro 2016 qualifiers.

Ben Youngs will start at scrum-half for England against Australia after recovering from the ankle injury which forced him to be replaced during the second half of their defeat by Wales. 

England head coach Stuart Lancaster told England's official website: , external“JJ and Ben Youngs are both fit and raring to go, as are the rest of the squad for what will be a huge game against a very good team.

“England-Australia matches at Twickenham are always massive occasions, this one more than ever, and we want everyone behind us so we can get the result we all want.”

The Scotland team in full to face South Africa is: Stuart Hogg, Tommy Seymour, Richie Vernon, Matt Scott, Tim Visser, Duncan Weir, Greig Laidlaw; Gordon Reid, Fraser Brown, Willem Nel, Richie Gray, Jonny Gray, Josh Strauss, Blair Cowan, David Denton. 

Replacements: Ross Ford, Alasdair Dickinson, Jon Welsh, Tim Swinson, Ryan Wilson, Sam Hidalgo-Clyne, Peter Horne, Sean Lamont.

Stuart Lancaster has made three changes to the team which lost to Wales on Saturday, bringing in Jonathan Joseph, Ben Morgan and Joe Launchbury. 

Joseph's inclusion means Sam Burgess - who started in the centre against Wales - is named as a replacement, while Launchbury replaces the injured Courtney Lawes (knee) and Morgan comes in for Billy Vunipola who suffered a tournament-ending knee ligament injury against Wales.

It takes a brave man to stand up and fire warning shots at a rugby team. Then again, it takes a brave man to tell Joe Calzaghe he's wrong. About anything.

England manager Roy Hodgson will be naming his squad for the European Championship qualifiers at home to Estonia on 9 October and away to Lithuania three days later at 12:30 BST.

But one name that will not be included is Aston Villa's Jack Grealish.

The 20-year-old declared for England last week rather than the Republic of Ireland but he needs four to six weeks for Fifa international clearance to come through.

If you had a spare 120,000 euros (£88,420), what would you do with it?

Well, millionaire racehorse owner Anthony Oppenheimer has splashed out that amount to add his horse Golden Horn to the field for Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp.

The horse has already accrued plenty of prize-money this season thanks to his wins in the Epsom Derby, Eclipse and Irish Champion Stakes this season.

As expected, John Gosden has taken his stable star Jack Hobbs out of the race.

Wakefield have sacked Australian scrum-half Tim Smith for gross misconduct and bringing the club into disrepute.
