England attack coach Mike Catt says Chris Ashton is not guaranteed to return to the starting XV against Australia at Twickenham.

He added: "They will park the disappointment just like they have done in the past. If they come on a northern hemisphere tour and they beat England they will say that it has been a successful tour. "(Michael) Hooper now is doing everything for Australia. He is on the good breakdown and good on his feet, but yes, the leadership of Pocock makes a difference."
