Former England scrum-half Danny Care will make his Barbarians debut against Fiji at Twickenham in June.

The 37-year-old announced his international retirement this week after winning 101 caps for England.

But he will return to the home of English rugby when the Barbarians play Fiji as part of a double-header with South Africa against Wales.

"I'm absolutely over the moon to be chosen to represent the Barbarians this summer," Care said.

Care was set to play for the Barbarians in the summer of 2022, but he won a surprise recall to the England squad, ending a four-year international exile.

He then became just the sixth Englishman to win 100 caps when he reached the milestone during the 2024 Six Nations.

"It's nearly happened a few times over the last few years, but now the stars have aligned and I cannot wait to finally wear that famous black and white shirt," he said.

"To do it at Twickenham as well is going to be so, so special for me."

Care will line up for the Baa-Baas alongside former England team-mates Ben Youngs, Jonathan Joseph and Zach Mercer.

"The chance to meet, bond, train with and then play alongside a group of players who I have admired and played against before in my career is going to be a unique experience," Care, who had a 16-year England career, added.

"I'll also get the opportunity to run out alongside some old friends as well, which will be really cool.

"I've always watched the Baa-Baas with such affection because of their style and how the team approaches the game.

"I feel like the Barbarians and myself could be a match made in heaven, so I really can't wait to throw my own bit of flair into an already incredible team."

Care will continue to play on next season, taking his professional career past the 20-year mark.
