England team to face Barbarians: Elliot Daly named at full-back... but Danny Cipriani starts on the bench

Elliot Daly will start at full-back for England against the Barbarians in Sunday's Quilter Cup match at Twickenham but Danny Cipriani must be content with a place among the replacements. 

Daly has featured at outside centre and on the wing over his 18-cap career to date, but is set to wear 15 this weekend with Mike Brown in a No 11 shirt for the first time in an international since the 2013 Six Nations. 

Eddie Jones fields eight uncapped players in his match-day 23. Henry Trinder of Gloucester is at outside centre, partnering Piers Francis in midfield. The Bath duo of Elliott Stooke and Zach Mercer starting at lock and No 8 respectively. 

Worcester hooker Jack Singleton is the final uncapped starter, although the bench features George McGuigan, Nick Schonert, Josh Beaumont and Dan Robson.

Fly-half George Ford and blindside flanker Chris Robshaw co-captain the side, as they did for this fixture a year ago.

Jones said: “This is a good, young squad and their work ethic has been outstanding over the last two weeks. Their application to learn has been very good but they are very young at Test rugby level so this week’s match against the Barbarians is a fantastic opportunity for them to step up.  

“It is a great opportunity for them to show they deserve to wear the English rose, to show they can be in contention for the World Cup and a great opportunity for them to put us on the front foot ahead of the South Africa tour.  

“You never know what to expect from the Barbarians team. We know they will be well coached by Pat Lam, we know they have got good individual players and some outstanding individual players, so we need to be up for the unexpected.  

“As last year Chris Robshaw and George Ford will co-captain the side.Their combined experience and expertise gives us the best captaincy level for the game.  

“We can’t wait to get back to Twickenham and get on the front foot, please the fans and play some good rugby.”
