Barbarians FC has teased rugby fans with a few more details of their squad selection for the British and Irish Lions Australia Tour which begins in Hong Kong on 1 June 2013.

Barbarians FC Tour Manager, Derek Quinnell, announced that New Zealand Fly-Half Nick Evans, English Centre Mike Tindall and Italian Hooker Leonardo Ghiraldini will don the black and white striped jersey at Hong Kong Stadium.

Quinnell said, "This year's summer tour is a very important one for our club. It is a great honour to play the Lions as well as England and we are very conscious of the need to invite the strongest possible squad to do justice to two great fixtures."

Last month, the Barbarians announced the first batch of names for what is shaping up to be a strong squad. Sergio Parisse, who led the Barbarians to victory over Wales and England two years ago, returns to Baa-Baas' colours.

Other debutants for the famous touring club include Samoan scrum-half Kahn Fotuali'i and France number 8 Imanol Harinordoquy.
