An exciting line-up of England stars will take on the Barbarians at Twickenham Stadium in the Gartmore Challenge on Sunday June 1 at 3.00pm.  The match takes place the day before England head to New Zealand for their summer tour and the Saxons travel to Canada for the Barclay's Churchill Cup.

Harlequins number eight Nick Easter will captain an experimental England side against the Barbarians on Sunday.

Six uncapped players have been called up, with a brand new front row of Nick Lloyd, David Paice and Jason Hobson. Lock Nick Kennedy, flanker Will Skinner and wing Topsy Ojo will also make their England bows in the non-cap match.

 

 

 RFU Elite Rugby Director and team manager for England's New Zealand tour Rob Andrew said: “All of the players going on tours apart from the Guinness Premiership finalists will be available for selection against the Barbarians which is an exciting prospect.
