Warren Gatland's son among Prov Barbarians

Bryn Gatland will play against his father Warren's British and Irish Lions-coached side in New Zealand after being named in a revised Barbarians team.

Flyhalf Bryn Gatland, son of British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland, will play for a Provincial Barbarians team against the Lions in the opening match of their New Zealand tour at Whangarei on June 3.

Gatland was included in a revised squad named on Friday by Barbarians coach Clayton McMillan for what is likely to be the easiest match of the Lions' 10-match tour.

McMillan was forced to make several changes to his squad when six players - Hame Haiva of the Blues, Quentin Strange and Heiden Bedwell Curtis of the Crusaders and Mitch Brown, Jonathan Taumateine and Johnny Fa'auli of the Chiefs - were forced to withdraw because of Super Rugby commitments.

The Lions will play three Tests against the All Blacks, the first on June 24 in Auckland.
