Celebrating the legends

The game will also be a chance to celebrate the careers of Leigh Halfpenny, Alun Wyn Jones and Justin Tipuric.

After announcing they were quitting international rugby in May which ruled them out of the World Cup, Jones and Tipuric will line up for the Barbarians, while Halfpenny will play one last time for Wales after being part of Gatland’s squad in France.

“It is something we have spoken about this week, there is going to be some recognition of those players,” said Gatland.

“When I had that conversation with Justin and he retired from international rugby, we spoke about this game being an opportunity for him to be involved.

“He gets the chance with the Barbarians to recognise his contribution, and Alun Wyn and Leigh.

“They get that chance to call time on their career, that is their choice and I fully respect that and back them. That is their choice, other people have coaches make that decision.

“Hopefully it is a good occasion for those three players.”
