Harlequins Rugby Union : Rugby : Five Harlequins Players in England Under 20s Squad for today's vital clash in IRB Junior World Championship

You could be forgiven for forgetting that summer is just around the corner especially whilst checking the thermometers. But we are only a matter of weeks away from the school summer holidays and the start of the Harlequins Community Summer Camps.

Harlequins have teamed up with NatWest to offer three pairs of tickets to Harlequins fans to watch England play the Barbarians at Twickenham Stadium on Sunday 26th May (Kick-off 1.00pm).

Although England Under 20 have made six changes to the side that beat Ireland for today's IRB Junior World Championship final Pool B clash against hosts South Africa at The Cape Town Stadium, the five Harlequins players in the squad - Jack Clifford, George Merrick , Kyle Sinckler, Sam Twomey and Charlie Walker, have retained their places. The match kicks-off at 5.45pm (BST) and it will be broadcast live on Sky Sports HD.

Chris Walker is recalled to the starting line-up and again captains the side, while Sam Hill, Dan Robson, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Sam Twomey and Billy Vunipola also come into the starting fifteen.

A win guarantees England a spot in the semi-finals, but defeat would not necessarily rule out a last four place.
Head Coach Rob Hunter says that the squad is looking forward to what promises to be an entertaining match: "We're very excited about the game," he said. "When the Pools were announced we knew that this one was going to be a fantastic match-up. Playing the Baby Boks in their own back yard will be a memorable experience and I'm sure that there will be a great atmosphere.

He added: "Of course we're going for the win, it's the best way to ensure we make it out of the group, we don't want to leave it to math. Last year's game against South Africa was incredibly physical, it was one of the games of the tournament, and we're expecting exactly the same."
