WROUGHTON-BORN prop forward Tim Payne has been selected to play for England in Saturday's Twickenham clash against the Barbarians.

Wasps forward Payne will win his 11th cap in the match.

The Barbarians open a series of three matches for England, who host Argentina at Old Trafford a week later before heading to Salta to face the Pumas in the second Test on June 13.

England manager Martin Johnson is expected to reduce the size of his 34-man squad after the Barbarians match.
