THE Barbarians will be coached by Wasps director of rugby Dai Young for their historic fixture against the British and Irish Lions in Hong Kong on June 1.

Young will also be in charge of the Barbarians for their annual fixture against England at Twickenham the previous weekend.

Derek Quinnell, the ex-Wales internatio­nal and current Barbarians committee member, has been appointed team manager for the two-match tour.

Young, who coached the Barbarians to wins over England and Wales in 2011, said: “I have been privileged to coach the Barbarians on three previous summer tours – it’s always an honour and one that I cherish.”
