BaaBaas game an All Black trial
Ten players in the BaaBaas' starting XV are either 'fringe' players or part of the All Blacks' larger squad.
Wing Julian Savea top the list of fringe All Blacks with a point to prove.
The rest of the starting XV includes four South Africans and an Australian.
Savea – with 46 tries in 54 Test appearances – makes his Barbarians debut – with younger brother Ardie in the All Black side.
Andy Ellis, a member of New Zealand 2011 World Cup-winning team, captains the BaaBaas.
Former South Africa captain Adriaan Strauss provides the experience in a pack containing five internationals in Australia's Sam Carter and New Zealanders Dominic Bird, Steven Luatua and Luke Whitelock.
There is a rare degree of continuity for the Barbarians, as nine of the players in coach Robbie Deans' squad featured in the successful 2016 tour – when the Barbarians drew 31-all with South Africa at Wembley.
