The Barbarians have announced the full squad they have in camp ahead of Sunday’s Quilter Cup match against England and it includes Tom de Glanville who was released by England this week having been in their three-day camp last week.

British and Irish Lion and former Scotland lock Nathan Hines also joins Vern Cotter’s coaching team alongside Glen Jackson, who comes full circle in the Barbarians having played for the side in five Tests in 2008/09.

Cotter’s side are bolstered by seven Flying Fijians who all play rugby on the island and will bring their exhilarating brand of rugby to the squad.

A rising star at Bath, de Glanville joins the Barbarians for the England game and follows in his father’s footsteps some 27 years on. He will be looking to impress Eddie Jones on Sunday after he was excused from the England squad announced on Tuesday. 

Harlequins prop Simon Kerrod adds further strength to the front row, completing a squad that will be aiming to give England a challenging encounter ahead of the completion of their Six Nations campaign and Autumn Nations Cup.

Nations Championship: 'The data shows the north has finally caught up with the south'

The Six Nations produced so many compelling games and so much of action packed moments that you can only conclude that its the best international comp out there at the moment except for a world cup. If Wales improve it will be even better especially given the strides Italy have made in recent times. The Rugby Championship is now taking a hiatus in a year it really should be building toward something better which is terrible considering the competition was so tight last year. The Nations Champs promises much but one gets the feeling that the 6 Nations teams will not be at their peak given its at the end of their long season. In terms of rugby quality and entertainment Id rather watch the 6 Nations over everything else other than a world cup right now. The North arguably offers more in terms of entertainment than the South at club level as well. The Prem, the Champs Cup, URC and Top 14 all feature plenty of scoring and different playing styles while Super Rugby seems to be the same thing game in game out. While the South tries to speed up the game artificially with new trials and law variations the North has shown you can do it with good refereeing which penalises cynical play harshly and encourages positive actions on the field. In terms of entertainment the North wins. In terms of winning? They are making strides but until they win another world cup or get a team to rank number 1 again for an extended time again they cant really say they are better than the South.
