Christian Wade scored a hat-trick as England thrashed the Barbarians 73-12 at Twickenham.

The England winger could have got four, but lost control of the ball when trying to dot down on another occasion.

The hosts ran in 10 tries in a disappointedly one-sided match. The Barbarians, who beat Ireland 22-21 earlier in the week, were woeful on Sunday.

England led 45-5 at half-time, and while they weren't as dominant in the second half, they were still far too good for the invitational club.

One positive for the Baa-Baas was that Brad Thorn scored a try in the last match of his career, although he was sin-binned for a tip-tackle.
