All Blacks, Wallabies align for BaaBaas

Coach Michael Cheika has named a star-studded Barbarians line-up for Saturday's Twickenham clash with Argentina.

New Zealand wing Nehe Milner-Skudder lines up alongside Australia centre Tevita Kuridrani, three weeks on from the All Blacks' 34-17 World Cup final triumph against the Wallabies.

Cheika, who steered Australia to the final, has also called upon five South Africa internationals and giant winger Nemani Nadolo of Fiji.
