Overlooked Wales duo to play against All Blacks team next month after all

Wales duo Aaron Wainwright and Rhys Webb will take on an All Blacks XV next month as the Barbarians named more additions to their squad for the Killik Cup.

Both Wainwright and Webb are set to feature for the invitational side when they play a New Zealand XV at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, November 13, a week after Wales play the All Blacks in Cardiff.

Both Dragons back-row Wainwright and Ospreys scrum-half Webb were overlooked by Wales coach Wayne Pivac for the autumn campaign.

Recent Champions Cup winners Brice Dulin and James Kerr-Barlow have also been named in the Barbarians squad for the New Zealand XV match, with their La Rochelle coach Ronan O'Gara already confirmed to be taking charge of the Baa-Baas with Crusaders coach Scott Robertson this autumn.

The full squad will be announced in the coming days, but a number of internationals have already been named. England duo Joe Marler and Joe Marchant have been called up, as have France's Camille Chat, Wenceslas Lauret and Teddy Thomas.

The likes of Zach Mercer, John Ryan, George Bridge and Bryn Gatland, son of former Wales coach Warren, round out a strong playing group.
