We probably did not apply them in the most clever way [last year] and we will take that into account for the future.”Ferrari have even more reason to impose team orders this season as they look to boost Schumacher’s bid for a record sixth drivers’ crown.The 34-year-old German had a comfortable lead last year when they took their controversial decision but this time he is second in the standings, four points behind McLaren’s Kimi Raikkonen.However, after victory in Spain last time out, Schumacher is convinced he will not need any help this time. “Barcelona is a circuit that shows the true potential of a car. If it goes well there, it is supposed to go well everywhere,” Schumacher said. “In Spain I think our car showed what it is able to do.”However, if the two red cars are out front on Sunday afternoon, as seems highly likely, and Barrichello is ahead, Ferrari could find itself between a rock and a hard place.. Andy Farrell, the Wigan and Great Britain captain, will put the most frustrating time of his career behind him when he makes his comeback against Warrington tonight. I think I’ve been very hard to live with these last three months,” he said.Farrell has been troubled by a build-up of fluid since the operation and admitted: “I’ll be checking my leg all the time to see if the fluid has come back.

I’ll just be glad to get this first game under my belt.”Wigan have two other forwards, Mick Cassidy and Rick Bibey, back from injury on the bench, but are without Kris Radlinski, who needs an operation on his wrist. Nick Graham switches to stand-off.Warrington’s Paul Cullen, named this week as Lancashire’s coach, retains the squad that beat Halifax, with the addition of Jerome Guisset, back from playing for France in the Victory Cup in Moscow.St Helens hope that Darren Britt and Paul Newlove will be fit to help them against London, after a shock defeat by Wakefield last week. The Broncos have Tommy Gallagher, the 19-year-old prop on loan from Leeds, making his debut from the bench.Halifax will be four points adrift at the foot of Super League if they lose at Wakefield and they could miss Daryl Cardiss and Shayne McMenemy, who picked up knocks against Warrington last week.. Back in the glory days, when they were capable of giving fully-fledged Test teams a serious hurry-up, the Barbarians prided themselves on their ability to gel together after a couple of light training sessions and a night in the pub. Now, rugby’s most celebrated scratch team tend to play sides even scratchier than themselves, and Clive Woodward’s latest England selection will be no exception when they engage in their annual tangle with the black-and-white hoops at Twickenham on Sunday week.

But Woodward, denied the services of players from a number of Premiership clubs still involved in competitive rugby and keen to rest as many senior citizens as possible in advance of next month’s trek to the Antipodes, has named 15 uncapped players in a 28-man party for the gadabout fixture.The coach has pulled in some of them from the back end of beyond: Matt Cairns, the 24-year-old Saracens forward, is one of three hookers in the squad, while Dan Hyde, the Leeds flanker whose representative experience goes no further than a dabble at England Students level, has every chance of getting on the field as the back-up open side to Michael Lipman of Bristol. Simon Amor, a seven-a-side specialist from Gloucester whose Premiership appearances have been rarer than hen’s teeth, is also in the frame, although it is a fair bet that the exciting David Walder of Newcastle will start at outside-half.Most of the big hitters – Will Greenwood, Jonny Wilkinson, Jason Leonard, Martin Johnson, Richard Hill, Neil Back – have been spared the torment of a high-speed thrash around south-west London in blazing sunshine. Wasps and Bath meet in the Parker Pen Challenge Cup final at Reading’s Madejski Stadium the same afternoon, so their players are out of the the running. So too are those from Northampton, who travel to Wasps tomorrow for the Premiership semi-final. Vickery, on the other hand, needs some meaningful activity after months of injury hassle.While there is something synthetic about Baa-Baas fixtures these days, it will be intriguing to see how Mark Cueto, the prolific finisher from Sale, performs almost a year after being overlooked by the national hierarchy for the one-off Test in Argentina.Scotland, who play the Baa-Baas at Murrayfield three days after the England match, have named 26 players for the game, and will take the same personnel to South Africa for next month’s internationals in Durban and Johannesburg.

Two Edinburgh men, Simon Webster and Andrew Dall, make up the uncapped contingent, while there is a return to top-level activity for the powerful Glasgow centre Andrew Henderson, who has beaten Kevin Utterson to a place in the squad There is no Tom Smith, though. The world’s best footballing prop will miss the end-of-season business through injury.INTERNATIONAL SQUADSENGLAND(v Barbarians, Twickenham, 25 May)Backs: D Scarbrough (Leeds), P Christophers (Bristol), M Cueto (Sale), D Luger (Harlequins), M Stephenson (Newcastle), J Noon (Newcastle), B Johnston (Saracens), K Sorrell (Saracens), D Walder (Newcastle), S Amor (Gloucester), K Bracken (Saracens), N Walshe (Sale).

The British No 1 Tim Henman missed out on his first quarter-final for seven months as he lost 6-4, 6-3 to Belgium’s Olivier Rochus in the third round of the Masters Series event here yesterday. But that was not the only surprise of the day, as the world No 1 Lleyton Hewitt also made a premature departure. His best was very good, and he was often creative in finding ways forward to the net, but he was ineffective for long spells and occasionally let his frustration get the better of him.”When you shake hands with someone at the end of a match you want to be able to say ‘too good’,” Henman said.
