England team to face Barbarians

England head coach Eddie Jones has named his team to play the Barbarians for the Quilter Cup on Sunday 27th May at Twickenham Stadium.
 

George Ford (Leicester Tigers) and Chris Robshaw (Harlequins) will co-captain the England side again, having done so for last year’s fixture against the Barbarians and Samoa this season.

 
Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers) makes a return in an England shirt for the uncapped match, following a knee injury he picked up against Italy in this season’s NatWest 6 Nations.

 
Mike Brown (Harlequins) will play on the left wing, with Elliot Daly (Wasps) wearing the number 15 jersey.

 
Piers Francis (Northampton Saints), who made his England debut in Argentina last June, will partner uncapped Henry Trinder (Gloucester Rugby) in the midfield.

 
Robshaw will play in the backrow alongside Tom Curry (Sale Sharks) - who became the youngest player to start an international for England in 90 years against Argentina last year- and the former England U20 captain Zach Mercer (Bath Rugby).
 
Dan Robson (Wasps) and Danny Cipriani (Wasps) are named on the bench for the first time under Jones.
