Rokocoko named in Barbarians

Barbarians coach Robbie Deans has named David Smith, All Blacks great Joe Rokocoko and New Zealand's Rene Ranger in his squad to face Ireland and England next month.

The Baa‑Baas are celebrating their 125th anniversary this year and Deans wants to assemble a squad capable of upholding the team's attacking traditions.

Rokocoko, who scored 46 tries in 68 Tests, has previously played for the Barbarians six times, while centre Ranger made his Baa‑Baas debut last season.

Australia fly‑half Berrick Barnes, Argentina scrum‑half Tomas Cubelli and New Zealand's George Whitelock have already been named in the squad, with more names due to be added in the coming weeks.
