Preview: England v Barbarians

Robbie Deans is hoping his Barbarians side can rub salt into the wounds of an England team still reeling from losing two crucial players in Manu Tuilagi and Dylan Hartley four months before the World Cup.


The Barbarians coach also wants to see his team live up to the traditional attacking ideals of the game's most famous invitational side when they face an England XV at Twickenham on Sunday.


Former Wallaby boss Deans will doubtless have some sympathy for Stuart Lancaster as the England coach attempts to stay calm and composed following suspensions handed out to Tuilagi and Hartley.
