Team News: Rob Horne, Sean McMahon earn Australia recalls for England clash

Horne, McMahon earn Australia recalls

Rob Horne and Sean McMahon have been recalled to Australia's starting XV for this weekend's Autumn International against England.

Melbourne Rebels flanker McMahon missed last week's narrow defeat at the hands of Ireland, but he returns for the final match of the Wallabies' European tour.

Horne, who has not started a Test in two years, will replace the injured Tevita Kuridrani at Twickenham.

Elsewhere, Adam Ashley-Cooper will move infield, while Matt Toomua and Henry Speight retain their places in the side.

Lock Rob Simmons is in line to make his 50th Test appearance, meanwhile, becoming the sixth Australian forward to reach that milestone this calendar year.

Australia team in full:

Israel Folau, Henry Speight, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Matt Toomua, Rob Horne, Bernard Foley, Nick Phipps; Ben McCalman, Michael Hooper (capt), Sean McMahon, Rob Simmons, Sam Carter, Sekope Kepu, Saia Fainga'a, James Slipper.
