Up to 20,000 supporters are set to be allowed into Twickenham to watch England take on the Barbarians on October 25. 

The game takes place a week before Eddie Jones‘s side face Italy in their rearranged Six Nations finale and fans will be able to attend, pending government approval. 

The RFU have outlined a number of safety measures that will be put in place with less than 25 per cent of the stadium’s total 82,000 capacity in use on the day.
