We thought it timely to look back at the interesting selection England XV last fielded for Rugby Aid in 2015.
The game was in aid of RUGBY FOR HEROES of which England captain Mike Tindall MBE is Patron.
The Rest of the World ultimately won the match 36-29 at Twickenham Stoop.
One of the standout moments of the game was Jamie Laing (Actor Made In Chelsea) being absolutely smashed by former All Black Brad Thorn.
