WESTERN Force stars Nathan Sharpe, Matt Giteau, Ryan Cross and Drew Mitchell have been recalled to the Wallabies starting side to face England on Saturday.
Force No.8 Richard Brown has been retained in the team that beat Italy 30-20 last weekend.

Cross, reunited with Wallaby captain Stirling Mortlock in the centres, is one of eight changes to the Australian starting lineup


rest from Perth Now.

Browns doing well...and Cross my pick as first try scorer...

I'll take that bet. Crossy is great as a player who sucks in other defenders and runs lines that are really hard to defend against. For the Force at least he's the one who usually starts the try-scoring movement and so isn't always there to finish it off.

Great to see so many Force players in the Wallabies. Finally the good that has been built over the past few years here is starting to reap rewards.

With so many of our players now playing at this level, it should be awsome to see them apply the skills and knowledge they are picking up here in the Super 14 environment. Bodes well for an awsome 2009 super 14 season.
