England Women to play Barbarian Women for the first time
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/47220593
I think this is great news when the talk is about the slump in Barbarians, now we will have the women on the international stage, lets hope they play the same style as the men.
One down side to this event is Jim Mallinder is to be in charge of England men for this event, bit of a backwards move for England I feel.
"Former Northampton Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder, who joined the Rugby Football Union in 2018 as their pathway performance coach, will take charge of the England men's side, with current head coach Eddie Jones overseeing the squad."

Re: England Women to play Barbarian Women
a couple of years ago Tigers hosted Lichfield ladies after a game. I really enjoyed the match and was impressed by the standard of play. It would be great to see this again. I know there has been some rejigging of the ladies game but it would be good if it could happen
