Barbarians coach Dai Young insists Saturday's clash with Australia will be anything but an exhibition match.

The Baa Baas showed what they are capable of with an entertaining 33-26 victory over England at Twickenham last weekend. And while Young insists his side will look to entertain the capacity crowd at the Sydney Football Stadium, he made no secret of his desire to defeat Robbie Deans' Wallabies.

"We'll try to come into the game we want to throw the ball about (and) we want to be entertaining but make no bones about it as well, we want to win," he said. "It's a fine balance but one we can strike."

The former Welsh international praised the efforts of his loaded squad against a youthful England side.

"Obviously the Barbarians stand for a lot of things, a lot of great players have played for them in the past and it's important we keep that tradition going," he said

"But not only was the commitment there but I thought we scored some really good tries as well."

Young forecast widespread changes for Saturday's clash with the likes of Ireland star Geordan Murphy and former All Black Luke McAlister both possible starters after missing the win over England with niggling injuries.

"We'll have fitness tests on all the players on Tuesday and we'll certainly see a few changes because that's what we want to do basically, give everybody the opportunity to start for the Barbarians," he said.
