Ben Johnston, David Flatman and Kevin Sorrell have been selected by Clive Woodward to play against the Barbarians at Twickenham on Sunday.

It's the first time for Sorrell to be called up to the senior England squad and he starts on the bench along with relative veteran Flatman. Johnston starts in the cenrte alongside London Irish's Geoff Appleford. Former Saracens half back Nick Walshe is also among the replacements after Kyran Brakcen withdrew on Tuesday due to injury. The side for this non-cap game is captained by Gloucester and Lions tighthead Phil Vickery.

We wish all three Sarries stars well.
