Ex-Wales captain Matthew Rees will come out of retirement for the one-off match to celebrate James Hook's career, which is taking place in Neath in June.
The likes of Shane Williams, Mike Phillips, Jonathan Thomas, Colin Charvis, Aled Brew, Nick Williams and Ma’ama Molitika are already confirmed for the James Hook testimonial match. A James Hook Select XV will take on a Classic Lions XV at The Gnoll on June 10 in a game which will give supporters the chance to watch a number of Welsh greats who have retired in recent years.
Rees will be among them, with the hooker widely known as ‘Smiler’ featuring for Hook’s side, which will be packed with players who starred for Wales under Warren Gatland.
