		Catt, 32, was left out of England's initial training squad for the World Cup earlier this year and before the tournament had missed 18 consecutive internationals because of injuries.

		Mike Catt had reason to smile earlier this week as appreciation rippled through the media, and English rugby union circles, following the veteran centre's international recall at the grand old age of 34.
		It is Catt's tactical nous, the way he reads the counter-attack, that England's head coach Andy Robinson hopes will rub off on the less experienced players - which is to say, everyone else in the squad with the exception of another old warhorse, Graham Rowntree - in Australia this summer.
		Catt sees this as unequivocally a failure of coaching, and singles out his former coach at Bath, the Australian John Connolly.

		But it was the inclusion of South African-born Catt after an injury-plagued two years which took centre-stage at Thursday's team announcement, with Woodward dismissing a suggestion the move might be interpreted as a gamble.
		Catt's inclusion caps a remarkable comeback for the 32-year-old veteran, who swung last week's quarterfinal in England's favour after coming on as a half-time replacement.

		Catt brings the pace and long-range passing ability to the midfield that it has lacked, and will hopefully bring Lewsey in particular into the game as a strike-runner with that passing.
		"Catt is definitely the right choice - all the attributes that he brings into the side are well documented and he is pretty crucial to the composure that has, up till now, been pretty lacking in the backline.
		In addition, England will probably kick more with Catt on the field which in my view is a mistake as England are at their best when they play running attacking rugby.
