@Stargazer you would've thought England were better off just doing a trial match, looking at the strength of that side.
Pretty much a half strength England side too, so about right

AWJ about to equal McCaw's test cap record. At least he's a decent and likeable player.
Agreed. I don’t want to like him due to all the grief he’s caused me over the years but he’s just seems a decent down to earth bloke and a helluva rugby player. Always liked him when he was in a Lions shirt mind.

How many players does Eddie have in camp?
Why don't they play their own version of a "North" Vs "South" game among themselves?
For the All Blacks it was players from the North Island against those from the South Island.
For Eddie Jones' England, it can be a chance for their players from the Northern Hemisphere to prove they are collectively better than the England players from the Southern Hemisphere.......

@Catogrande Was it too close to the bone?
To be fair, since Dylan Hartley retired England haven't had a Captain from Rotorua.

The identity of the players involved in the breach has not been revealed.Considering the full 22-man squad for this game has already been published, it will be easy to find out who the culprits are, once they have to give the names of the players who'll actually play the match.

Unless none of them can as they've mingled.

Apparently not. Trouble is, it is 11 out of the 23. An appeal for Covid tested players has gone out . Not much time though. This game has gone from meaningless to complete farce.

Saracens players caught breaking the rules again....

Chris Robshaw, Richard Wigglesworth, Sean Maitland and Jackson Wray are among 12 Barbarians players stood down from Sunday's fixture against England after breaking Covid-related rules.
The players left their hotel bubble contrary to team protocols to have dinner at a central London restaurant.
Sunday's game is in the balance as the Barbarians try to recruit enough players to replace those stood down.
However, indications are that they remain confident of raising a team.
As well as Wigglesworth, Wray and Maitland, it is understood a number of other Saracens players were also involved.
Barbarian FC expressed their "extreme disappointment" in the conduct of the players who breached the regulations.
They had only announced their 23-man squad on Wednesday and face a considerable task replacing those expelled.
Cardiff RFC said on Friday that centre Max Llewellyn, son of former Wales lock Gareth, and full-back Ioan Davies had been called up to the squad.
An update on whether the game can go ahead is expected later on Friday.
