    Australians selected in Barbarians clash with World Champs

    Four Australians have been selected in a star-studded Barbarians lineup to take on world champions South Africa at Twickenham on Saturday, 1 December.

    Rugby World Cup Wallabies Matt Giteau and Rocky Elsom have both been named in the Barbarians squad which features several stars of the international game.

    Former Wallaby Justin Harrison, now playing for Irish club Ulster, will make his return to the international arena at lock, while 24-year-old Brumbies prop Salesi Ma’afu also has a chance to impress against the world champion Springboks.

    Joining Giteau in an impressive backline are All Blacks stars Joe Rokocoko, Conrad Smith, Justin Marshall and Ma’a Nonu, England’s Jason Robinson and Ben Cohen and Fiji’s Isoa Neivua.

    England and British & Irish Lions international forward Mark Regan, making his third appearance for the Barbarians, will captain the side.

    Ireland’s Eddie O’Sullivan has been named coach.

    The match will be televised LIVE on Setanta Sports with coverage beginning at 2am (AEDT) Sunday, 2 December with a replay the same day at 12.15pm. Details at www.setanta.com.au

    I've just had a look on the Sentata Guide, the FOX sports guide, and Free to air (fat chance).
    Can't see the game scheduled anywhere.
    Maybe only get a replay? Anyone know who's televising it and what time?
