When Carys Phillips takes the field at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday she will complete a moment of Barbarians history.
The Phillips family has already produced two Wales internationals but Carys and Rowland will become the first father and daughter to represent the famous club.
Hooker Phillips, among the most-capped women players for Wales, will follow in the footsteps of her father Rowland – himself a former dual-code international – who wore the black and white jersey some 23 years ago.
“It’s a cool story to share with each other and I hope the family will have a good time when they come to watch,” said Carys.
“My dad lets me know now and then that he played for the Baa-Baas and text me to say he thinks we’re the first father daughter.
“He spoke about the enjoyment of playing for the Baa-Baas. He said to have fun with it, get stuck in and make memories.”
