Ireland centres Brian O'Driscoll and Gordon D'Arcy have agreed to play for the Barbarians on next month's three-match tour of Britain. Fellow Irish internationals Malcolm O'Kelly, Geordan Murphy and David Humphreys have also been included.
This year's tour features matches against Scotland, Wales and England.
Also in action for the Baa-Baas will be southern hemisphere stars Joe Roff, Matt Burke, Nathan Grey, Corne Krige and Bobby Skinstad.

"It has always been an ambition of mine to play for the Baa-Baas," said Leinster player D'Arcy.
"Many Irish legends have represented the club before me and it is a great honour to be invited."
O'Driscoll has already worn the famous black and white jersey.
"I was lucky to obtain my first and only appearance to date for the Barbarians against South Africa in 2000 at the Millennium Stadium," said the Ireland captain.
"The Barbarian style of play allows for greater space and running opportunities, which any back relishes, so I was thrilled to be invited again."
