"While we have some really experienced players starting the game there is a great opportunity for some of the younger players to show what they are about against a Barbarians team full of quality international players," Jones said in a statement.
Worcester Warriors's Ryan Mills and Nich Schonery and Harlequin duo Rob Buchanan and Marland Yarde are injured.
Buchanan and Mills have been released from the camp.
