The Australian Rugby Union boss John O'Neill denies the return of the rugby league defector Sonny Bill Williams will turn into a circus.
But he suspects the New Zealander's presence in the Barbarians team to play the Wallabies will put "bums on seats".
The ARU has confirmed that Williams will play with the Barbarians for the June 6 clash at Sydney Football Stadium.
He caused a furore last year when he walked out on a contract with the Bulldogs rugby league club to join French union side Toulon.
Although the former Kiwi is the only player confirmed for the match O'Neill denies the announcement is a publicity stunt aimed at the league State of Origin match to be played the same week.
