Barbarian Women have announced a trio of Red Roses legends will represent them in November.
Red Roses players Rochelle “Rocky” Clark, Katy Daley-Mclean and Natasha Hunt will all play for the side against Springbok Women’s XV on 27 November.
The trio have 308 international caps between them with Clark adding a third Barbarian shirt to her list of honours, which include a Rugby World Cup title in 2014, England’s most-capped player and being named an MBE in the Queen’s New Year Honours in 2015.

Clark played for Barbarian Women in their first-ever international against the USA as well as in their first appearance at Twickenham against England in 2019.
“I grew up watching the Barbarians and loving their style of play," said Clark. "The creation of the Barbarian Women was a big step forward in highlighting the women’s game and I am so proud to be a part of their story.”
Katy Daley-Mclean will reunite with Sale Sharks’ Rachel Taylor in the Barbarians camp, enabling her to gather more experience from a varied coaching team to contribute to her own developing coaching career as she concludes her playing career.
Daley-Mclean is the third most globally capped player, with 536 points for England to her name and was named in World Rugby’s Women’s 15s Team of the Decade.
Gloucester-Hartpury’s Captain Natasha Hunt is another former teammate and opponent of both Clark’s and Daley-Mclean’s who brings a huge amount of experience from both international 7s and 15s having played in two Rugby World Cups, four Six Nations, two Olympic Games and the World 7s Series.
The Killik Cup Double Header 2021 on Saturday 27 November takes place at the home of England Rugby, Twickenham Stadium, featuring the first-ever “home” double header for the Barbarians.
Barbarian Women will take on a Springbok Women’s XV at 5.15pm, following the men’s fixture against Samoa XV, and ticket prices include both matches.
