Former Wallaby forward Justin Harrison and exciting All Blacks centre Luke McAlister have been added to the Barbarians team to play Australia at Sydney Football Stadium on June 6.

The pair were confirmed in the team on Friday along with winger Doug Howlett, the most prolific Test try-scorer in New Zealand rugby history, hard-running Samoan centre Seilala Mapusua and Kiwi five-eighth Nick Evans.

The Barbarians side already included the likes of Rocky Elsom, Jerry Collins, Justin Marshall and Sonny Bill Williams.

Harrison is currently with Bath in the UK after three seasons with Ulster in Belfast.

He played 34 Tests and was a foundation member of the ACT Brumbies where he played for several seasons before moving to the NSW Waratahs.
