O'Connor: added to the Barbarians

Several of the world's best backs, including last weekend's Bledisloe Cup hero James O'Connor, have been called up to the Barbarians side that will play South Africa in the MasterCard Trophy Match at Twickenham on Saturday 4th December.

Kiwi legends Joe Rokocoko and Ma'a Nonu, Aussie sensations Drew Mitchell and Will Genia, will join O'Connor, to take their places among a host of global stars that are set to light up the Twickenham turf when the world famous Baabaas take on the World Champion Springboks.

O'Connor, who will be joined by his Wallabies teammate Matt Giteau in the Baabaas backline, converted his own last minute, match-winning try in last weekend's stunning victory over the All Blacks, will make his debut for the club. He will be surrounded by experience however as All Black winger, Joe Rokocoko, makes his fourth appearance in the famous black and white jersey. French fly-half, Francois Trinh-Duc will be looking to recover from the hamstring injury that has ruled him out of the November tests to make his debut for the club.

But it's not only the backline that boasts the planet's best rugby players - the forwards include All Blacks hooker, Keven Mealamu, Ireland's most-capped player ever, John Hayes, and Italy legend Salvatore Perugini. They will be joining Wales and British Lions Martin Williams and Kiwi giant Rodney So'oialo.

Hayes, who has won over 100 caps for Ireland will be making his debut for the club as will Kiwi Keven Mealamu, who given his predilection to keep the ball in hand will fit in well with the Baabaas style of running rugby.
