Mullan helps England to big Barbarians win

Worcester prop Matt Mullan played the full 80 minutes as a young England side thrashed the South Africa Northern Barbarians 57-31 on Tuesday evening.

Nick Abendanon scored a first-half hat-trick as England led 31-10 at the break, with Ben Morgan adding to Abendanon's treble.

The hosts – who had scored the game's first try through Joubert Engelbrecht – scored twice after the break through Shaun Venter to cut the lead to seven.

Jonny May scored a brace and Anthony Allen went over and although Deon Scholtz replied with a consolation, the visitors concluded with a penalty try.

England are next in action in the final Test on Saturday when they face the Springboks.
