Two Trailfinders set to feature in Barbarians Women clash against Wales
Amelia Buckland-Hurry and Celia Quansah have been selected to represented Barbarians Women against Wales.
Barbarians Women have named their final nine players to complete their squad ahead of the game against Wales at Allianz Stadium on Saturday 27th June.
Amelia Buckland-Hurry will join a roster of internationals in the forward pack for the fixture.
In the backline, Celia Quansah will link up with back three talent including World Cup winner Ruby Tui.
The exciting, hugely experienced squad of 23 will take on Wales at Allianz Stadium as part of a Barbarians double header with the Men’s team facing the same opposition early that day.
Coached by highly respected duo of Susie Appleby and Sarah Hunter, the squad, made up of nine nationalities and featuring more than 700 international test caps, will face a Wales side fresh off the back of the Guinness Women’s Six Nations.
Barbarian F.C Women’s lead Fiona Stockley said:
‘We are delighted to name a Barbarians squad with over 700 international caps which continues to show the statute and respect that the club holds in the game.
‘Players will be coming together from around the world to prepare for the test match against Wales, who will in true Barbarians style spend a week building connections that will allow us to play with flair and passion on the 27th of June.
‘Across both the men’s and women’s teams we are able to represent the club and showcase the very best of top flight rugby. We know the competition between the Barbarians and Wales will be fierce and will provide a great entertainment for all of the supporters joining us at Allianz Stadium for our double header match.’
Since its formation in 2017 Barbarians Women has been at the forefront of the game, showcasing the values and spirit of Barbarian F.C. The previous outing against Wales (November 2019) saw a 29-15 victory for the Barbarians at Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
