Barbarians Descend on Kingspan Stadium in Belfast

Kingspan Stadium, the home of Ulster Rugby, will host a unique international fixture between the Barbarians and Fiji on Friday 11 November 2016 (kick-off at 7.35pm).

The Barbarians first travelled to Ireland in 1957, where they played an Ulster Invitation XV in Belfast, and this will be their first visit back to the city since.

Barbarians' coaches Robbie Deans and Will Greenwood have already announced some world-renowned stars among their squad including Australia's Taqele Naiyaravo and Will Skelton, as well as New Zealand's 2011 World Cup winner Andy Ellis. Joining them in the famous black and white jerseys will be Ulster players Ruan Pienaar and Dan Tuohy, so the home support will have plenty to cheer for.

The Fiji squad will be captained by Montpellier back-row Akapusi Qera and includes Olympic 7's gold medalists Josua Tuisova, Leone Nakarawa and Vatemo Ravouvou.

Tuisova, who has been starring on the wing for Toulon, is set to make his international debut in Belfast. There are also a number of other big names among the Flying Fijians including scrum-half Nikola Matawalu, who joined Bath in 2015 following four seasons at Glasgow Warriors, and try-scoring sensation Nemani Nodolo.

The Barbarians and Fiji last met at Twickenham in November 2013 where the Baa-Baas recorded a 43-19 victory in a ten-try thriller. Among the try scorers that day for the Barbarians was current Ulster and All-Black sensation Charles Piutau.
