It won’t be experimental too few opportunities before the World Cup.
I expect the premiership final to be between Saracens and Exeter so my guess it will be the strongest possible side without those players.

I would think something like

Genge, Singleton, Sinclair, Launchbury, Lawes, Wilson, Curry, Morgan.
Care, Ford, May, Teo, Joseph, Cockanasiga, Watson

[JP14]

For me Baabaas is always a game to experiment, even though the invitation team is real quality.

[JP14]

Making of a serious team this is...

1 Marler (England/Harlequins)
2 TBC
3 Afoa (New Zealand/Bristol)
4 Messam (New Zealand/Toulon)
5 Vui (Samoa/Bristol)
6 Luatua (New Zealand/Bristol)
7 Facundo Isa (Argentina/Toulon)
8 Viliame Mata (Fiji/Edinburgh)
9 Rhys Webb (Wales/Toulon)
10 TBC
11 Josua Tuisova (Fiji/Toulon)
12 TBC
13 Malakai Fekitoa (New Zealand/Toulon)
14 Filipo Nakosi (Fiji/Toulon)
15 Charles Piutau (New Zealand/Bristol)

I wouldn’t be surprised if Rory Best was called up.

[JP14]

I would probably like to see Woodward and Solomona involved too!

With the greatest respect it’s how Jones looks at it not you.
World Cup year every opportunity needs to be taken, can’t see any experiments outside those in the running for World Cup squad unless there is no alternative.
There was also talk that Hartley could be close to a return this weekend

No disrespect taken, yes I have heard about Hartley.

Did I read somewhere that Mallinder is in charge of the England side?

Expect similar though can’t see EJ picking Morgan over Hughes.

My bag forgot about Hughes

[Scott1]

Yes I've just checked,Mallinder is coaching us. Does that mean he's picking the team too or just coaching Eddie's picks?

How come Voldemort is coaching?

[Scott1]

Not sure,but it means no Tigers players will get picked

[RagingBull]

Think Eddie Jones will be in Portugal with England players on training camp.

The squad playing the barbarians will be basically fringe players.

Ok well that nips my theory in the bud then, go back to JP’s side
