Retired England International Joe Marler has been added to Pat Lam's Barbarians squad that will face England.
The 28-year-old won 59 caps for England between 2012 and 2018 before announcing his retirement from international rugby last November.
He joins a star-studded line-up including the likes of Charles Piutau, John Afoa, Steven Luatua Malakai Fekitoa, Rhys Webb and Facundo Isa.
“Playing for the Barbarians is something I never thought would happen so I’m really excited to be involved — it’s a bit of dream come true,” said Marler.
