Genia gets Barbarians call for Pumas clash

Wallabies halfback Will Genia has been called up to the Barbarians squad for the fourth time for a match against Argentina at Twickenham.

He will be joined by Springboks' fly-half Handre Pollard, lock Eben Etzebeth and prop Tendai Mtawarira in the invitation-only team for the clash on December 1.

It will potentially be the second time Genia plays at Twickenham in a week with the Wallabies' final match of their spring tour against England taking place on November 24.

The Melbourne Rebels star will give Barbarians coach Pat Lam a third option for the No.9 shirt against the Pumas with Welshman Rhodri Williams and Scot Greig Laidlaw already in the squad.

Australia hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau and former Wallabies lock Sitaleki Timani are also on the team.

Genia was previously selected by the Barbarians in a 25-18 victory over the All Blacks in 2009, started in a 26-20 win over the Springboks in 2010 and also called up for two Barbarians matches last year but didn't play.
