Ben Foden, Jordan Turner-Hall, Tom May and Matt Banahan crossed, but had the Barbarians not run out of steam in the final quarter the victory would have been far more emphatic.

It was a fitting way for World Cup winners Martin Corry and Josh Lewsey to bid farewell to Twickenham in their penultimate appearances before retiring.

England managed to avoid a record defeat with a glut of three tries in quick succession as the Barbarians began to tire in the closing stages.

All three were created by kicks from Andy Goode, who picked out Turner-Hall, May and then Banahan as England closed to within one score with five minutes remaining.

Lewsey was given a rousing farewell as he was replaced Mike Catt in what could also prove to be the veteran fly-half general's final big-match appearance at Twickenham.
