The Ireland Coaching Team have named their squad for Thursday's showdown against the Barbarians at Thomond Park.
The Barbarians have assembled a stellar squad that includes the likes of Brad Thorn (New Zealand), Joe Rokocoko (New Zealand), David Smith (Toulon), George Smith (Australia) and Ruan Pienaar (South Africa).
The Leinster trio of Shane Jennings, Jimmy Gopperth and Zane Kirchner were called up to the Barbarians squad last week by head coach Robbie Deans.
Munster and Connacht players have been omitted from the squad due to their commitments in the Pro12 and Champions Cup play offs.
