London: Eddie Jones admitted he was not “happy” with England’s performance in a record 52-21 defeat to a 14-man Barbarians side, but stressed “context” should be applied.
A French-inspired Barbarians side shrugged off the loss of Will Skelton to a first-half red card to batter England in the heaviest defeat of Jones’ time in charge to date.

Jones suggested Jonny May, Joe Cokanasiga and Jonny Hill played their way into the touring party after lengthy injury absences, and hinted Jack Walker and Tommy Freeman had done enough to be selected.
