The Barbarians squad has been announced for their huge clash with New Zealand at Twickenham on December 5th.
Only three British players have been called up and they all play for Wales. Centre Jamie Roberts, winger Leigh Halfpenny and back-row forward Andy Powell have all been invited to play for the select XV and they will line-up alongside a glittering array of southern hemisphere talent.
Matt Giteau, George Smith and Rocky Elsom will arrive from the Australia squad while Bryan Habana, Fourie Du Preez, Schalk Burger and Victor Matfield arrive from the World beating Springboks.
Former All Black winger Joe Rokocoko will have the unique experience of lining up against his former teammates.
