May touched down either side of scores from team-mates Lachlan Boshier and Chay Fihaki in a first half which finished level at 17-17, before registering his second 10 minutes after the restart.

New Zealand international Leicester Fainga’anuku and flanker Boshier also crossed twice for a team captained by All Blacks great Sam Whitelock, while Zach Mercer’s try sealed victory late on.

May was joined in the Baa-baas side by the likes of Danny Care, Kyle Sinckler, David Ribbans, Ben Youngs and Jonathan Joseph, plus France pair Gael Fickou and Cameron Woki.

The star-studded selection was pushed hard by Fiji, with Epeli Momo claiming a hat-trick of tries and Kemueli Valentini contributing 10 points, including adding the extras to his own second-half score.

Fly-half Caleb Muntz kicked the Flying Fijians other seven points, while Barbarians full-back Fihaki landed four of his five conversion attempts before Japan hooker Shota Horie slotted the final two points of an entertaining contest.
