DAREN O'Leary has won a prestigious call up to play for the Barbarians.
Worcester Warriors' winger, who finished last season as top try scorer, has been named in the 22-man squad bound for Portugal.
The Barbarians, who will be under the charge of coach Zinzan Brooke, will play in Lisbon to mark 100 years of Portugese rugby. Worcester's all time record try scorer - Nick Baxter - is also named in the squad for the June 10 clash.
Squad: Stuart Moffat (Glasgow Rugby & Scotland), Leon Lloyd (Leicester Tigers & England), Matt Allen (Cardiff Blues & England), Dafydd James (Celtic Warriors, Wal-es & British Isles) Daren O'Leary (Worcester & England), Nick Baxter (Pertemps Bees & England sevens), Paul Burke (Munster & Ireland), Mark Mapletoft (London Irish & England), Scott Benton (Sale Sharks & England), Rhodri Jones (Gwent Dragons & Wales), Ricky Nebbett (Leicester Tigers & England), John Davies (Llanelli Scarlets & Wales), Mattie Stewart (Bedford Blues & Scotland), Trevor Leota (London Wasps & Samoa), Dorian West (Leicester Tigers & England), Alfred Vakacokavanua (The Army & Fiji), Rob Baxter (Exeter Chiefs), Leo Cullen (Leinster Lions & Ireland), Robin Sowden-Taylor (Cardiff Blues & Wales XV), Paul Volley (London Wasps & England XV), Junior Paramore (Gloucester & Samoa), Bobby Skinstad (Gwent Dragons & South Africa).
Meanwhile, Worcester's Pat Sanderson will also be involved on the international stage today when he plays for England sevens.
The back row forward, who moved from Harlequins in the summer, will be on show at Twickenham for the Emirates Airline London Sevens (part of the IRB Sevens).
England are 10 points behind leaders New Zealand in the 2003-04 IRB World Sevens Series table and to win overall they must retain the Emirates Airline London Sevens title and New Zealand must not progress beyond the quarter-finals.
Sanderson is also due to travel to Canada later this month to play for England in the Churchill Cup.
