Gregan the Barbarian to line up against Wallabies
Posted
Former Test captain George Gregan has accepted an invitation to play for the Barbarians against the Wallabies at Wembley on December 3.
Gregan is the latest international star to confirm his availability for a match that will mark the Centenary of the 1908 London Olympics, where the first ever Wallabies touring squad won the Games gold medal.
Gregan, now with the Suntory club in Japan, is the world's most capped Test player with 139 games and the longest-serving Australian captain with 59 internationals at the helm.
The Barbarians have also confirmed former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones will work alongside head coach Jake White with the invitational team.
The Barbarians side will be led by All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw and includes New Zealand stars Carl Hayman, Jerry Collins and Joe Rokocoko; South African World Cup winners John Smit, Percy Montgomery, Jean de Villiers, Bryan Habana, Bakkies Botha and Schalk Burger; and England's recent captain Steve Borthwick.
The Wallabies play the Barbarians in their mid-week tour finale after Tests against the All Blacks, Italy, England, France and Wales.
