Barbarians v All Blacks XV
-
@Mr-Fish All of the Saffers would want to impress and push for the Springbok jersey. Thats something different then a bunch of big name has beens playing for a jol.
Dobson respect rugby values and his Stormers are still unbeaten in the URC. Never underestimate him.

I definitely think it'll make for a stronger team than throwing together some former internationals from across the world, but I think most people watch the Barbarians to see those former stars. Plus, South Africa are already playing a game in London on Saturday.

What an uninspiring Baabaas team.
Would be better to call them South Africa XV and have the match as an A International
Yeah I usually like to catch baabaa matches, can't say I'd be tuning if it wasn't NZ.
And who the hell is Brad Webber?

If you’re desperate, a VPN and the Now sports app is good for a majority of UK based sports

It's on premier sports, so better off going direct to source.

Sky seems to be running a model where they don't televise something unless their customers directly contact them about it. The same thing happened with the league Ashes, they weren't televising it, were getting queries about it, then NRL stepped in and broadcast it, then Sky got the rights (and I think the free NRL option disappeared).
