The England squad for Saturday's match against Australia has been announced. Andy Gomarsall has still not made it in to the first 15, but gets a place on the bench. Lawrence Dallaglio has been dropped as well. England Squad:

15 Jason Robinson - The Sharks
14 James Simpson-Daniel - Gloucester
13 Will Greenwood NEC - Harlequins
12 Mike Tindall - Bath
11 Ben Cohen - Northampton Saints
10 Jonny Wilkinson - Newcastle Falcons
9 Matt Dawson - Northampton Saints
1 Trevor Woodman - Gloucester
2 Steve Thompson - Northampton Saints
3 Phil Vickery - Gloucester
4 Martin Johnson - Leicester Tigers (CAPT)
5 Ben Kay - Leicester Tigers
6 Lewis Moody - Leicester Tigers
7 Neil Back - Leicester Tigers
8 Richard Hill - Saracens

REPLACEMENTS

16 Mark Regan - Leeds Tykes
17 Jason Leonard - NEC Harlequins
18 Danny Grewcock - Bath
19 Lawrence Dallaglio - London Wasps
20 Andy Gomarsall - Gloucester
21 Austin Healey - Leicester Tigers
22 Tim Stimpson - Leicester Tigers

Dallaglio has been dropped after a poor performance on Saturday against the All Blacks.

Andy Gomarsall, despite a brilliant performance against London Irish, and despite Matt Dawson's poor performance against New Zealand, still fails to get in to the starting XV. I thought you were picking on merit Woodward?

James Forrester also fails to get a squad place. Don't be disheartened though Gloucester fans. I think that Clive Woodward has pretty much sorted his world cup squad, and a lot of Gloucester players are featured. They will all play in games in the future, be it the Autumn internationals or the 6 nations.
