All Blacks blow Benched French star

'Non' Squad: Benched French star refuses to play All Blacks - report

French-based back Thomas Ramos has reportedly refused to play for the Barbarians against the All Blacks this weekend at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The utility back was set to join up with the invitational side in London on Tuesday before reports emerged that he had pulled out of the fixture due to personal reasons.

It is not yet known whether Ramos will be available for the Barbarians' match against England at Twickenham on June 19.

The 27-year-old, who has 19 caps for France, was part of the French squad that won the Six Nations this year.

He was not selected for France's tour of Japan and Australia, but was expected to play for the Barbarians against the All Blacks.

Ramos' decision to pull out of the match is a blow to the Barbarians, who are already without a number of key players.

The Barbarians are coached by former All Blacks coach Steve Hansen.

The All Blacks are set to play three tests against Ireland in July.
