Playing for the Barbarians is a bucket list tick for many rugby players.
It will never beat donning the green and gold, but it is a form of recognition from the world rugby fraternity, and an impressive feather in the cap.
Springbok enforcer Eben Etzebeth is due to turn out for the Barbarians against Argentina in December, and to celebrate he posted a picture of his jersey-to-be.
Fair enough – feast your eyes on his latest post:
That caption:
Really excited to be playing for the Barbarians for the first time and putting on the famous black and white shirt. Should be a great match – come and support us against Argentina at Twickenham in December.
OK, but you can see it, right?

Who wants to tell him?
Just kidding, big man – if you’re looking for a real rugby ‘p for oes’, you’ll want to watch this video.
