Martin Corry will face his former England team-mates in May after being named as one of the first five members of the Barbarians squad which will play at Twickenham.

Corry won 64 caps for England, captaining his country 17 times, and played for the British and Irish Lions in Australia in 2001 and New Zealand in 2005.

The 35-year-old is joined in the Barbarians squad for the match on 30 May by four other experienced internationals: Jerry Collins (Toulon and New Zealand), Rocky Elsom (Leinster and Australia), Serge Betsen (London Wasps and France) and Justin Marshall (Saracens and New Zealand).

The England manager, Martin Johnson, a former team-mate of Corry at club level, with Leicester, and with England and the Lions, said: "It's a game that the whole England squad will look forward to, and we will be aiming to add to the three home wins we enjoyed at Twickenham in the Six Nations before our two games against Argentina.

"With the obvious exception of England players who will be unavailable because of their selection for the Lions, we will aim to have a strong England team playing against the Barbarians."

Corry said: "I've played for England against the Baa Baas, so I know what a great occasion these games at Twickenham can be. I feel privileged to be involved and delighted at the prospect of pulling on that black-and-white jersey again and running out at a ground that means so much to me."
