Barbarians head coach Pat Lam has named his side for this weekend’s Quilter Cup clash with England at Twickenham.
Retiring Argentina back-row Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe will captain the side and makes up one third of a devastating back-row that also includes Wales and Lions star Justin Tipuric and former All Black Victor Vito.
Connacht duo Denis Buckley and Ultan Dillane also start in the pack, while another western province man in Niyi Adeolokun starts on the wing. Scotland international Finn Russell starts at ten, with England international Chris Ashton set to line out against his national side at fullback.
