Alex Goode and Steffon Armitage will line up against England at Twickenham on Sunday as part of a star-studded Barbarians side.

Saracens fullback Goode has won 21 England caps, but has played just twice since Eddie Jones became coach following the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

He will run out at Twickenham once more on Sunday, though, and has been picked in a backline that also includes Adam Ashley-Cooper, Frans Steyn and Ian Madigan.

Up front, Armitage -- who won the last of his five England caps in 2010 -- forms a back row alongside captain Thierry Dusautoir and Facundo Isa.

Wales hooker Richard Hibbard is also included at hooker, while there is a place at lock for former All Black Jeremy Thrush.

Barbarians team to face England:

Goode, Nagusa, David, Steyn, Ashley-Copper, Madigan, Fotuali'i; Nariashvili, Hibbard, Johnston, Albacete, Thrush, Dusautoir (captain), Armitage, Isa.

Replacements: Brits, Franks, Nel, Tekori, Galan, Pienaar, Fruean, Agulla
