Sergio Parisse will lead the Baa Baas on Saturday

Italy and Stade Français back-rower Sergio Parisse will lead the Barbarians for a second successive week when they take on Wales at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday. Winger Paul Sackey, centre Mathieu Bastareaud, second-rower Paul Tito and fellow back-rower Joe van Niekerk are the only others to retain their places from the team that beat England last weekend.

Heineken Cup winner Isa Nacewa is named at full-back while Munster’s Magners League winning Doug Howlett takes his place on the left wing. In the forwards, Welsh veteran Martyn Williams takes George Smith’s blindside jersey, while another Welshman, Iestyn Thomas, is named at loosehead.
