Ex Shark and South African Ex-pat, Brad Barrit has been selected for England against the New Zealand Maori team.

Chris Ashton is the only player from the England starting team that beat Australia to be named to face the New Zealand Maori rugby team at Napier.

England fullback Ben Foden, scrumhalf Ben Youngs and prop Dan Cole have been named on the bench. Delon Armitage, scrumhalf Danny Care and hooker George Chuter, who were reserves for last weekend’s 21-20 win over Australia, have been included in the starting XV.

Wednesday’s match is the last of a series of three games being played by the New Zealand Maori team to mark its centenary. The Maori have made two lineup changes from the one which beat Ireland 31-28 Friday.
