They missed out on the Wallabies Spring Tour squad, but Sam Carter and Taqele Naiyaravoro might just run out against the All Blacks this weekend.
Carter and Naiyaravoro have been named in the Barbarians squad for the clash, and a match with Tonga on November 10, after their involvement in the narrow loss to the Wallabies last weekend.
This is the second year in a row that the pair have been involved in the Barbarians, travelling with the invitational side in Europe last year.
The duo will be joined by Rebels captain Nic Stirzaker in the squad, the scrumhalf completing the Australian contingent.
Stirzaker featured in a World XV that played off against a Japanese representative XV last weekend, coached by Deans in that match.
Deans has valled up 13 Kiwis including former All Blacks Ben Franks and Steven Luatua, who are both now based in England.
Other All Blacks of note in New Zealander Deans's squad are 2015 World Cup-winning wing Julian Savea and scrum-half Andy Ellis, who was a member of the 2011 World Cup-winning side.
