Flying Fijians scrum-half Nemia Kentale will join the Barbarians team who play Australia at Twickenham on Saturday, 26th November.
Kenatale was the first choice scrum half for Fiji during the 2011 Rugby World Cup campaign and is known for his speed and high work rate and pound for pound, is also one of the strongest local players in the game.
The Tailevu player will team up alongside other Rugby World Cup stars like Sonny Bill Williams and Jerome Kaino from New Zealand, Bryan Habana and Victor Matfield from South Africa and a host of other international stars.
Kenatale is the lone Pacific Islander in the team and will get an insight into the World Cup winning All Blacks coaching panel with the Barbarians being coached by former All Blacks coach Graham Henry and his assistant, Steve Hansen.
The Barbarians and Wallabies match will be held on November 26th.
