SYDNEY - England coach Clive Woodward has rung the changes for the team's World Cup semifinal against France on Sunday.
The squad named this afternoon has seven differences from that which struggled to beat Wales 28-17 in the quarterfinals last weekend.
The major changes are veteran Mike Catt replacing Mike Tindall as
the starting second five while blindside flanker Richard Hill also returns to the run-on fifteen after injuring himself in England's first match of the tournament.
The thirty-year-old British Lion pushes Lewis Moody to the bench while Josh Lewsey takes over from speedster Jason Robinson at fullback.
Robinson will instead play on the right wing with Dan Luger dropped from the 22.
