Woodward praises England stars

Clive Woodward paid tribute to his young England stars who gave a world-class Barbarians side the run-around at Twickenham.

England's 53-29 victory gave Woodward plenty of food for thought just two days before he announces his squad to tour Argentina.

Gloucester youngsters James Simpson-Daniel and James Forrester both produced outstanding try-scoring displays.

Woodward, whose preparations had been disrupted by injuries and unavailability, fielded nine uncapped players, but they did him proud.

"I was very excited. We wanted to play without fear, and there were some excellent performances," he said.
