England served up an emphatic indication of their strength in depth ahead of the World Cup, crushing the Barbarians 73-12 at Twickenham.

Marland Yarde put England ahead early on before Brad Thorn responded. But the hosts took over, with tries from Ed Slater, Jack Clifford and Danny Cipriani and a brace from Christian Wade propelling the Three Lions into a 45-5 lead at the interval.

After the interval, Henry Slade and Josh Beaumont added tries, Wade completed his hat-trick and Cipriani finished the scoring with another try; he totted up a staggering 33 points in the match. Thomas Waldrom scored the Barbarians' only other try at the start of the second half.



Ahead of the match, England head coach Stuart Lancaster encouraged those involved in this encounter to make a major impression with the summer showpiece edging ever closer, per Wasps.co.uk:

This is an exciting group who will be eager to impress in an England shirt with a number of guys having one eye on the World Cup in September.

We know the Barbarians have a large number of experienced guys and they will be ready for us having played Ireland. We are expecting a tough encounter.



They were words that seemed to be heeded from the off, as the hosts played with an encouraging effervescence. It took just 11 minutes for Yarde to put England in front, and although Thorn reduced the deficit to 7-5 a couple of minutes later, for the Baa-Baas, the hosts clearly had too much.

England went on to score five tries in the space of 18 ferocious minutes at the end of the first period. Slater set Lancaster’s men on their way after some brilliant work in the lineout, before Clifford capitalised on more pressure to push the score on to 24-5.



In addition to his try, young Clifford was enjoying an excellent game, as the team’s official Twitter account noted:
