BEN Parry has a famous black and white jersey waiting to be framed after the Pontypool captain represented the Barbarians.

The 26-year-old hooker from Tranch played an hour for the Baa Baas in their 31-15 win against the Combined Services XV at the Rec in Bath.

The wet weather didn't dampen the spirits of a 6,357 crowd with the Barbarians taking the honours in the Remembrance Match thanks to tries by Worcester wing Josh Drauniniu, Cardiff flanker Jon Edwards, Exeter back row forward Charlie Walker-Blair and Heriot's prop Alan Brown.

"It was a fantastic occasion and a brilliant experience," said Parry, who earned a shot after impressing Baa Baas coach Phil Davies when the former Wales forward came in to help Pooler in pre-season.

"Being captain of Pontypool this season was a career highlight but this is the icing on the cake.

"There was a crowd of just over 6,000, which was a bit daunting but once I got the first carry under way the nerves went.

"We'd only had two 30-minute training sessions but it went fine in the end and it was good to get the win as well.

"It's the kind of opportunity that doesn't come around for many players and me and my family are so proud that I'm now part of the Barbarians history.

"I've got the jersey and that's something that I'll always cherish."
