Barbarians v Wales

After all the rain this week, thank goodness the Principality Stadium has a roof.

Surely the Hooper pick is a Razor call?, if that was Eddie and Hooper plays a PSDT type of game..he just buries himself further

he won't play exactly like PSDT but he does have motivation to play well...

That is one motley Barbarians team (yes I know the concept) but given their varying firepower I don't know how to guess this one. I have a feeling they may shade this despite or even because of Eddie.
But surely if it weren't for Japan, he'd be nearly done, out of 2 major sides in a matter of months?

Now hoping we can actually watch this game in NZ on Sunday morning. It's not in Sky's tv guide.

Cracking Baba's backrow with Hooper and Tipuric in tandem. They're causing problems at the breakdown, no surprise there.

Kurovoli a real live wire. Hooper & Valetini also winning TOs for Baabaas.
Costello been very good for Wales, been everywhere.

7-5 to Wales after 20 minutes.

Joe Moody causing challenges to the Welsh front row.

Be very interesting to see how Shaun Stevenson goes, especially in defence.

MiketheSnow

The inconsistencies shit me

@Bovidae said in Barbarians v Wales:

I did see a photo of Stevenson on the Chiefs SM. I am surprised there isn't a few of the wider AB squad involved, but that's probably down to the coach.

I ca see why the wider squad members wouldn't have opted for it. This time of year here is fairly shite, plus coming off a topsy turvy RWC campaign, the head may not be in the right space.
However if it were me, I would personally jump at the chance to release some demons, impress Razor and play with other good international buggers.

MiketheSnow

North almost butchered that after a great break

Clever chip from Tomos to put Costelow in

Wales 21-5 Ba Baas
38 mins

Brilliant from Halfpenny

Stevenson doing nothing to impress Razor
