Olly Barkley kicked three penalties and Charlie Hodgson two as England beat the Australian Barbarians 15-9 on Tuesday in an international rugby match decided entirely on goalkicks.
Hodgson landed two first-half penalties to contribute to a 6-6 deadlock at halftime, then handed the kicking duties to Barkley, who landed three more goals, including two in the last seven minutes, to seal the win.
Wallabies center Berrick Barnes came off the bench in the 14th minute to kick three penalties for all of the Barbarians' points.
The first match between the teams at Perth last Tuesday ended in a 28-28 draw.
