Winger Chris Ashton showed what England are missing after he bagged a hat-trick in the opening 25 minutes against Eddie Jones’ side at Twickenham for the Barbarians.
Here’s how fans responded:
Wondering if Eddie Jones will change his mind and get Chris Ashton in the squad for south Africa after this performance #ENGvBAR

This is absolutely brilliant by Chris Ashton, right in front of Eddie Jones

Headline writers can knock off early. Chris Ashton has hit hat trick for the @Barbarian_FC and we’ve only played 26 minutes at HQ!

We select Mike Brown on the wing, Top 14 record try scorer Chris Ashton gets his third try for the BaBas 🤔

24′ A third TRY for Chris Ashton on his return to Twickenham sees the visitors cross for their fourth, thanks to some fancy interplay down the right-hand side of the pitch. #QuilterCup 🏆 pic.twitter.com/F9jDrfMAaA

Chris Ashton is lethal, what a player

Two tries for Ashton – embarrassing England and Eddie Jones who should be even more embarrassed by not picking him when he should have. 0-14

A Chris Ashton hat trick – a thing I’d never want to see but I’m hoping for it now. The barbarians do odd things to people. #ENGvBAR
