All Black legends back together again, for a special cause.

French club Toulon will host the Classic All Blacks in a match described as a chance to pay tribute to Jerry Collins, who tragically died along with partner Alana Madill in a car crash in southern France on June 5.

Legends of the black jersey Ali Williams, Andrew Hore, Brad Thorn, Carl Hayman, Carlos Spencer and Justin Marshall headline an all star team that will play the French Top 14 giants on Thursday (NZT).

Other former All Blacks Adam Thomson, Anthony Tuitavake, Ben Atiga, Chris Masoe, Jason Eaton, Kevin Senio, Rudi Wulf, Saimone Taumoepeau and Troy Flavell have also assembled in Toulon alongside All Blacks scrum coach Mike Cron, former Wallabies coach Robbie Deans and Europe-based Kiwi players David Smith, Kendrick Lynn, Orene Ai'i and Stephen Brett.
