The match is part of the All Stars week-long celebration which also features a special lunch and jersey presentation from the Indigenous All Stars team.
Peachey, a relation to David and Tyrone Peachey, will play under Parkes Spacemen legend Dennis Moran, who has been named coach of the side.
Hard-running forward Peachey is not the only player who will bear a famous surname in the match, with Joseph Gordon, the son of former Knight Ashley Gordon, also selected.
The match kicks off at 6pm next Thursday as the curtain-raiser to the Redfern All Blacks v Cherbourg Hornets game.
