rugby legends team the Barbarians.

As part of the new contract, Gartmore will also become the title sponsor of
the match between the Barbarians and the 2007 Rugby World Cup champions, South

Welshmen Martyn Williams and Tom Shanklin, Australian Matt Giteau and Jerry
Collins and Sitiveni Sivivatu of New Zealand take on a full strength Springboks
side.

of the three-year anniversary of the funds.
