Exeter Chiefs forward Dean Mumm has been named in a star-studded Barbarians line-up that will tackle the British & Irish Lions in Hong Kong on Saturday.

The Australian international was used as a second half replacement during last Sunday's friendly defeat with England at Twickenham.

However, the 29-year-old - who has won 33 caps for the Wallabies - will partner London Wasps and South African international Marco Wentzel in the Baa-Baas second row.

Lining up alongside Mumm in the world famous representative side are a plethora of household names, all of whom will be led by Stade Francais and Italian captain Sergio Parisse.
