The British Olympic Association has announced that the 100th anniversary of the Olympic Games in London will be marked by a rugby match between the Barbarians and Australia.
The match on December 3 at Wembley Stadium will mark the centenary of the 1908 Games and of the Olympic rugby union final between Great Britain and Australia.
It will be the first time a rugby union match has taken place at the new national stadium.
In 1908 the Wallabies defeated a Great Britain side (represented by the county of Cornwall) 32-3, to claim the gold medal.
BOA chief executive Simon Clegg said: "It is appropriate to mark the 100th anniversary of the Olympic Games first coming to London and this game at Wembley is a unique chance to see top class international rugby played at one of the world's greatest venues."

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
