FRENCH RUGBY ICON Thierry Dusautoir will bring the curtain down on his glittering career against Ulster at Kingspan Stadium.
Dusautoir is one of three Tolouse players selected by Barbarians head coach Vern Cotter for June’s fixture.
The 35-year-old, who called time on his international career in 2015, will be accompanied by France full back Maxime Medard and Argentina lock Patricio Albacete. New Zealand’s Jeremy Thrush will also join Dusautoir in the squad. The quartet will be making their first appearances for the Barbarians.
