Ireland's Rory Best will bring the curtain down on his professional career by captaining a Barbarians outfit picked by England's Eddie Jones to face Fiji at Twickenham on Saturday.
Within the 23-man invitational squad, three Springbok Rugby World Cup winners are picked as wing Makazole Mapimpi and loosehead prop Tendai Mtawarira start - the latter, like Best, in the final game of his rugby career - while centre Lukanyo Am starts on the bench.
There are a further seven South Africans within the Barbarian squad, as Dillyn Leyds (right wing), Andre Esterhuizen (inside-centre), Curwin Bosch (out-half) and Marco van Staden (openside flanker) start, while Hencus van Wyk (prop), Jano Vermaak (scrum-half) and Morne Steyn are selected among the replacements.
Elsewhere in the starting side, France centre Mathieu Bastareaud lines out at 13, All Black David Havili at full-back and Wallabies Joe Powell, Luke Jones and Pete Samu at scrum-half, lock and blindside respectively.
Pumas tighthead Enrique Pieretto, Canada second row Tyler Ardron and Scotland No 8 Josh Strauss make up the rest of the starting XV.
Kiwi hooker Andrew Makalio, Fiji loosehead Campese Ma'afu, Australian Angus Cottrell and Wallaby Matt Philip complete the squad.
