France captain Charles Ollivon will lead the Barbarians in their non-cap international against England at Twickenham on Sunday week.

Ollivon was Les Bleus skipper until suffering a serious knee injury a year ago and, while he has since made a successful comeback, he was forced to miss the autumn campaign and the recent Six Nations.

The Toulon back row will be joined by French Grand Slam winner Damian Penaud, who covers wing and centre. France’s Fabien Galthie is the Barbarians’ head coach.
