Catt loses fitness battle
December 1, 2000

Centre Mike Catt has withdrawn from the England side for tomorrow's Test against South Africa at Twickenham.

The Bath star, who was due to win his 49th cap, has not recovered from sore ribs suffered during England's 19-0 victory over Argentina last weekend.

His place in midfield goes to Harlequins' Will Greenwood, who starts an international for the first time since England's World Cup quarter-final defeat against South Africa in October last year.

Greenwood moves up from the replacements' bench, and that vacancy is now filled by Leicester's Austin Healey.
