Youthful England beat Barbarians

May 28, 2017 - 4:52 PM A youthful England side have made the most of their chances to beat the Barbarians 28-14 at Twickenham on Sunday.

They led 13-0 at halftime, having opened the scoring with a converted try by Nathan Earle of Saracens, one of eight new caps in the starting XV.

A try by Australian Adam Ashley-Cooper put the Barbarians back in contention but Earle's club mate Nick Isiekwe went over to extend the lead to 23-7 before a late try by Samoan Joe Tekori.

Danny Care crossed the line to have the last word for England.

Coach Eddie Jones's side are preparing for a two-match test series in Argentina, on 10 June and 17 June.

The win was achieved at a possible cost, however, with Argentina-bound squad members Alex Lozowski and Sam Underhill both suffering first-half shoulder injuries that could threaten their tour participation.
