Barbarians add 7 players to their squad for Tonga clash

The Barbarians have bolstered their stocks with seven players added to their squad for the clash with Tonga at Thomond Park on Friday.

Munster great Donncha O’Callaghan joins the squad along with two current Munster players in props James Cronin and Brian Scott.

Also added to the group are Leinster and Ireland flanker Jordi Murphy, former England and British & Irish Lions lock Geoff Parling, giant Australia wing Taqele Naiyaravoro and Castres flier David Smith.

Cronin and Scott replace New Zealanders Atu Moli and Ben Franks. Moli has joined the All Blacks squad for their European tour while Franks has returned to London Irish.

O’Callaghan returns from Worcester Warriors for a second spell with the Baa-baas after featuring in the win against England in 2014.
