"The numbers of fans able to attend, given social distancing requirements, will be significantly lower than normal and subject to final agreement from government.

Eddie Jones' decision to field an experimental England line-up paid off as they overcame Wales 33-19 in the first of the summer's Quilter Internationals on Sunday.The hosts led 21-7 at half-time as converted scores from man-of-the-match Billy Vunipola, late call-up Joe Cokanasiga and Luke Cowan-Dickie put them in control at Twickenham.Wales threatened to mount a fightback early in the second half with converted tries from George North and Wyn Jones, but skipper for the day George Ford kept the scoreboard ticking over with his boot to bring the away side's run of 14 straight Test wins to an end.The disparity of experience between the sides was emphasised by the number of caps both teams had in their starting line-ups, with Wales' XV totalling 678 appearances - including captain Alun Wyn Jones becoming his country's most-capped international - and England just 390.Head coach Jones, who announces his squad for the World Cup in Japan at 1pm on Monday, had been forced to reshuffle his initial starting side too, with Cokanasiga, Jonathan Joseph and newcomer Lewis Ludlam Nevertheless, England made an encouraging start to the contest, with debutant scrum-half Willi Heinz getting quick ball to keep the attacks coming and flanker Curry making a break which gave the home side a good position to strike from in the build-up to the first try.The opening score came following a scrum on four minutes. But although he was tackled, Bath wide man Cokanasiga picked up and drove his way over.In contrast, Wales were struggling to get anything going in attack, but penetrating runs from fly-half Anscombe and then Jonathan Davies seemed to give them a fillip, despite England halting that attack and turning the ball over.It was not long before Warren Gatland's men were on the scoreboard though and it came from a piece of individual brilliance by Gareth Davies.From a scrum just inside England's half, the Scarlets number nine burst down the blindside, fended off Vunipola and side-stepped Elliot Daly for a 22nd-minute try which Anscombe converted.But Wales were dealt a blow on the stroke of half-time when a line-out from Ken Owens close to his own lines squirmed through the hands of skipper Jones, with England hooker Cowan-Dickie the grateful recipient to score, followed by Ford kicking his third conversion of the afternoon.Ford, handed the England captaincy for this match in the absence of Owen Farrell, edged the home side further in front with a close-range penalty four minutes into the second half.However, Wales capitalised on some disciplinary lapses from the hosts and hit back again six minutes later, with North finishing in a similar manner to Cokanasiga earlier in the game after Owens had broken from a line-out drive and been stopped short.The visitors came strong again and got a third try on 55 minutes.

"A test event will be held to put into practice our operational plans and demonstrate that Twickenham Stadium is well prepared. The expected England's non-cap international against the Barbarians could therefore become a pivotal test case in the UK Government's pilot scheme aimed at returning supporters to sports contests.The Welsh Government will decide when spectators can return to events in Wales but officials are monitoring trial events in England.Tickets went on sale for the Baa Baas game on Wednesday, with England scheduled to travel to Rome to take on Italy in the delayed Six Nations contest a week after the Barbarians encounter.
