Best's final game for Ireland came as captain for the 46-14 World Cup quarter-final loss to New Zealand, ending a career which featured 124 caps, nine Lions appearances, and four Six Nations titles, including two Grand Slams.

He concluded his club career last May, having played 218 times for Ulster since 2004.

Following the Fiji clash, the Barbarians will face Brazil in São Paulo on November 20 and Wales in Cardiff on November 30.
