Event Information

Shane Jennings will captain the Barbarians against Ireland at Thomond Park. The Leinster and Ireland flanker retires from the professional game this summer after a distinguished career in which he has won 13 caps for Ireland, PRO12 and European Cup titles for Leinster and an Aviva Premiership title with Leicester Tigers. He captains a starting side containing nine different nationalities with 466 international appearances between them for the game in Limerick. It includes his Leinster teammates Zane Kirchner and Jimmy Gopperth with Ulster scrum half Ruan Pienaar also starting for the famous invitation club celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. Head coach Robbie Deans has assembled a side with a sharp cutting edge containing the likes of Toulon’s leading try scorer David Smith, New Zealand’s Joe Rokocoko and British & Irish Lions wing Alex Cuthbert in the back line. Lions’ tight head Adam Jones anchors a scrum containing a powerful second row combination in Uruguay’s Rodrigo Capo Ortega and Georgia’s Konstantin Mikautadze. Japan’s Ryu Koliniasi Holani is a dynamic No.8 from Deans’s club side – Panasonic Wild Knights.

The Shannon Gospel Choir will be entertaining the fans before the game, while at half time, Garryowen and Newport U11’s take to the field
