Barbarians v World XV teams confirmed: Bristol Bears trio start at Twickenham

A trio of Bristol Bears lead a star-studded cast as the Barbarians take on the World XV at Twickenham on Sunday in the Killik Cup.

Departing Bears duo Semi Radradra and Charles Piutau line up for the World XV while Steven Luatua packs down at number eight for the Barbarians with Harry Thacker on the bench for Eddie Jones' BaaBaas side.

Gloucester and Scotland fly-half Adam Hastings starts in the 10 jersey for the World XV where he will go head-to-head with Wallaby maverick Quade Cooper.

Exeter Chiefs scrum-half Jack Maunder will wear number nine for the Barbarians who will be skippered by Wales and British & Irish Lions legend Alun Wyn Jones.

Chiefs legend Jack Nowell confirmed he was meant to be involved in the game this weekend but had to pull out as he gets treatment on his knee.

The game kicks off at 2pm and will be shown live on Channel 5.
