Boks sign up for Baa-baas duty

The Barbarians side to face Scotland and England will have a distinct Springbok flavour after two more South Africa stars signed up for action.

Sharks backs Brent Russell and Trevor Halstead will link up with the squad, joining their fellow South Africans Cobus Visagie, Selborne Boome, A J Venter and Corne Krigé.

Northampton's New Zealand pair Bruce Reihana and Mark Robinson have also been confirmed in a group that will eventually be 32-strong and probably comprise several prominent Australian internationals.

Australia's 1991 Rugby World Cup-winning coach Bob Dwyer will again prepare the squad, assisted by Leicester's Pat Howard.

The Baa-baas play Scotland in Aberdeen on May 24, then tackle England at Twickenham four days later.
