Barbarians Women have named their final nine players to complete their squad ahead of the game against Wales at Allianz Stadium on Saturday 27th June.

International experience from across the globe have been added to the squad, which will meet up in London next Monday to prepare for the fixture.

In the pack the highly experienced Canadian Emily Tuttosi has been named along with English duo Rownita Marston Mulhearn and Amelia Buckland Hurry. Scotland’s Sarah Bonar and New Zealander Amy Rule complete the Barbarians forwards.

Kiwi fly half Liv McGoverne, Canadian world cup finalist and World Rugby player of year nominee Alex Tessier and English duo Rachel Lund and Celia Quansah complete the back line up in the squad.

The exciting, hugely experienced squad of 23 will take on Wales at Allianz Stadium as part of a Barbarians double header with the Men’s team facing the same opposition early that day.

Coached by highly respected duo of Susie Appleby and Sarah Hunter, the squad, made up of nine nationalities and featuring more than 700 international test caps, will face a Wales side fresh off the back of the Guinness Women’s Six Nations.

Barbarian F.C Women’s lead Fiona Stockley said:

“We are delighted to name a Barbarians squad with over 700 international caps which continues to show the statute and respect that the club holds in the game.

“Players will be coming together from around the world to prepare for the test match against Wales, who will in true Barbarians style spend a week building connections that will allow us to play with flair and passion on the 27th of June.

“Across both the men’s and women’s teams we are able to represent the club and showcase the very best of top flight rugby. We know the competition between the Barbarians and Wales will be fierce and will provide a great entertainment for all of the supporters joining us at Allianz Stadium for our double header match”.
