MIKE CATT was last night celebrating a call from the international wilderness to join England’s World Cup elite in their quest for global supremacy.

Catt has been handed an early 32nd birthday present, returning to the England fold almost two years after his last Test match appearance.

With rival fly-halves Charlie Hodgson and Alex King both injured, the World Cup door was flung open, allowing Catt an unlikely late entry into England boss Clive Woodward's selection plans.
