JOHANNESBURG, June 19 (Reuters) – Fullback Nick Abendanon
scored a hat-trick of tries as England ran riot in a 57-31
victory over the SA Northern Barbarians in their tour match at
Olen Park on Tuesday.
Replacement wing Jonny May, who came on in the 26th minute
after Ugo Monye knocked himself out in a tackle, also scored
twice.
Monye hurt his neck in the incident and was taken to
hospital for a scan but England management were confident there
was no serious damage.
Flyhalf Charlie Hodgson missed just one kick at goal as he
added seven conversions and a penalty.
England face South Africa in the third and final test on
Saturday after losing the previous two matches.
