Six Fijians have been included in the Barbarians and World XV squad ahead of their Killik Cup encounter at Twickenham this Sunday.

Former Wallabies outside back Samuela Kerevi alongside former All Blacks and Flying Fijians winger Seta Tamanivalu will line up for the Barbarians XV side while Flying Fijians reps Viliame Mata, Api Ratuniyarawa and Semi Radradra with Wallabies winger Marika Koroibete will suit up for the World XV.

The two squads are jam-packed with world-class talent, as household names like Taulupe Faletau, Alun Wyn Jones, Quade Cooper, Samu Kerevi, Israel Folau, Ngani Laumape, Charles Piutau and Aaron Cruden will be playing for both sides.

Barbarians coach Eddie Jones says it is an honour to be asked to coach the Barbarians for a second time and he is looking forward to returning to Twickenham Stadium.

World XV coach Steve Hansen says he is excited for this match and is anticipating the rivalry not only on the field but also between him and his counterpart, Eddie Jones.

The Barbarians will play the World XV this Sunday.
