MARTIN CORRY and Josh Lewsey are set to make their final appearances before retirement as the Barbarians take on Australia at the Sydney Football Stadium on Saturday.
Tour captain Corry, who led the side to victory against his former England team-mates at Twickenham last Sunday, has been named among the replacements.
On the wings, the Barbarians will field two players from England’s 2003 World Cup-winning side in Lewsey and Iain Balshaw.
Australia Test flanker Phil Waugh will lead a star-studded team featuring countryman Rocky Elsom and controversial rugby league convert Sonny Bill Williams.
Waugh, who along with Elsom will join the Australia squad for their domestic Test campaign following the Baa Baas clash, will skipper the side that also includes former Australia half-back Chris Whitaker.
The clash will feature several mouth-watering battles all over the park with Williams lining up against Australia captain Stirling Mortlock at outside centre, while Waugh will resume his battle with long-time team-mate and rival George Smith.
