South Africa's World Cup-winning lock Victor Matfield will captain the Barbarians against New Zealand in The MasterCard Trophy match at Twickenham on Saturday.

He leads a star-studded Baa-Baas side that boasts a massive 925 international caps.

Matfield said, “To be invited to lead such a star-studded outfit is a huge honour for me.

"It will also be my debut for the Barbarians and the whole experience since the squad met up last Sunday has been unique.”

Barbarians coach Nick Mallett added: “We have the benefit of a full week together ahead of the match and, knowing the talent that has been assembled among the 22 players, we expect to be very competitive and give the All Blacks and the Twickenham crowd a real taste of Barbarian rugby at its best.”
