Former Catalan Dragons player Daryl Millard will be back to face St Helens in the World Club Challenge after being named in South Sydney's 20-man squad.
The Fiji international is on a 12-month contract with the NRL champions after he was released by Dragons at the end of last season and he was part of the Rabbitohs party that flew out of Sydney on Sunday.
Millard scored a late try to help condemn Saints to a 34-32 defeat at Langtree Park two years ago in one of the most exciting finishes to a match in Super League history.
Catalan trailed 32-28 with time up on the clock but after the ball went through 11 sets of improvised kicks and passes in the last move of the match, Millard crossed in the corner before Scott Dureau slotted a touchline conversion.
Millard made 113 Super League appearances for Wakefield and Catalans but was not offered a new contract by the Dragons to allow them space in their overseas quota for the arrival of Todd Carney.
The former Canterbury Bulldogs and St George Illawarra three-quarter is joined in the Souths squad by England forwards Tom and George Burgess, who are among 11 members of the team that beat the Bulldogs 30-6 to claim the NRL Grand Final honours last October.
Australia full-back Greg Inglis leads a squad that also includes recent signings Tim Grant and Glenn Stewart as well as former captain John Sutton.
Forward Kyle Turner misses out though, having been hospitalised with a neck injury sustained during the season-opening NRL All Stars match on Friday.
The Rabbitohs, coached by former Wigan boss Michael Maguire, fly into Manchester on Monday to begin their preparations for the clash with Saints at a sold-out Langtree Park on February 22.
South Sydney squad: G Burgess, T Burgess, Clark, Goodwin, Grant, Grevsmuhl, Inglis (captain), Johnston, Keary, Lowe, Luke, McInnes, McQueen, Millard, Reddy, Reynolds, Stewart, Sutton, Tyrrell, Walker.
Watch St Helens v South Sydney Rabbitohs in the World Club Challenge final. Coverage begins on Sunday February 22 at 6:45pm on Sky Sports 1 HD.
