England vice captain Mike Tindall was today declared fit for the World Cup final re-run against Australia at Twickenham.

The Bath centre was laid low by a stomach bug earlier this week and England put Will Greenwood on stand-by to play in this afternoon's clash.

Tindall, though, reported no problems at the England team hotel this morning and will start again as planned with Greenwood remaining on the bench.

Newcastle's Jamie Noon flew down from the north east to join England's training camp on Thursday but now will not be required for duty.
