England host the Barbarians at Twickenham on Sunday as they ramp up their preparations for this summer’s three-Test tour of Australia, which gets underway at the start of July.
Eddie Jones has a 36-strong squad to choose from and has revealed that “everyone will be given the chance to make their case for being part of the Australia tour squad” – if not on the pitch then at least in training ahead of the game.
A number of usual faces are missing due to injury, such as Kyle Sinckler, Henry Slade, Manu Tuilagi and Anthony Watson, while no Leicester Tigers or Saracens players have been selected as they’re playing in the Rugby Premiership final at Twickenham on Saturday.
That has left space for 10 uncapped players in the 36 but perhaps the biggest selection story is the return of Danny Care, who earns a first call-up since 2018 and was due to be playing for the Barbarians before Jones drafted him back in.
England’s opponents on Sunday will be led by Grand Slam-winning French coach Fabien Galthie and captain Charles Ollivon while George Kruis gets a chance to take on many of his former teammates ahead of his impending retirement.
After a disappointing Six Nations campaign, there is pressure building on Jones, and with a testing tour of Australia to come, the last thing he needs is a slip-up against the Barbarians at Twickenham.
