O’Driscoll, long established as captain of Ireland and also at the helm with the British and Irish Lions in 2005, is looking forward to the match. He said, “Having previously played for the Barbarians against the Springboks in Cardiff seven years ago and also enjoyed their tour to Scotland and England in 2004, it is a great honour for me to be invited to captain the Club in what promises to be another great game against South Africa.

I've also heard rumours of Jauzion and Poitrenau from France being possibilities. It's without a doubt the first time the Barbarians have actually got some of the best in the world representing them for about 30 years! Anyone else looking forward to this game? [/QUOTE]
