Beauty!

Didn't see this coming after going 1000 points down in the first 3 minutes.

Think Francis has done well to answer the critics so far. Daly very good and I'd definitely like to see him at 15 long term. Robshaw is having an uncharacteristically disappointing game so far.

Certainly nice to see a more competitive Barbarians game, don't know if it's because they're much better drilled then normal or England are in that bad a dip of form

Agreed, put in some lovely flat passes right on the line so far

Quite an entertaining Sunday afternoon display of unopposed rugby.
Highlight of the first half - George Ford overhauling overrated "flyer" Ashton from behind with ease.

Curry, Ford, Francis and Daly all going well so far. Think Francis especially has been looking like he wants to take this chance with both hands.

Proper baabaas game = Zero defence

Mercer too. He’s been everywhere. Plus Launch, obvs.

How's that not a penalty? Baabaas knock on close to our line, Youngs has the ball, is tackled and a baabaas player is off his feet with his hands on the ball?

The baabaas will have used their entire summers worth of try celebrations at this rate.

I didn't notice Marler at all in the 46 mins he was on. Don't expect I'll be saying the same about Genge come 80 mins

Yet they’ve kept him on and taken off Mercer. On both experience, games played this season and performance today that’s a poor decision.

To be fair, he gave away a couple of silly pens.

He looked fucking shagged at the end of the season. I don't know why he's playing this game at all.

Well, I do. but god knows how pooped he'll be after these SA games.

That’s three turnovers from Curry now. I know it’s a baabaas match but......

so Far this makes any consternation over Gustard leaving seem fairly moot. Wonder what Alex Sanderson’s contract is like at the moment?

Now a big hit from Curry. Surely he’ll start in SA......or suffer a severe injury.

If England aren’t going to bother defending can they get Robson on and try and score some tries instead?

Robson and Cips on the field. I hope Dors has found a TV en France.

That’ll explain this 6N, then.
