[MiketheSnow]

Today's BaBaas No. 9, his Dad Alan Williams and Luke Charteris showing rugby is a game for all shapes & sizes

[MiketheSnow]

Fantastic start from the Barbarians

3 tries to nil (Ashton 2, Vito)

England 0 - 21 Barbarians

15 mins gone

[MiketheSnow]

Daly over for England. Strong through average tackling.

England 7 - 21 Barbarians

18 mins gone

[MiketheSnow]

Francis over for England

Forward pass from Ford early on but England finished well

England 14 - 21 Barbarians

22 mins gone

[MiketheSnow]

Ashton gets his hat-trick

England 14 - 28 Barbarians

27 mins gone

[MiketheSnow]

Great break from Daly puts Mercer over

England 21 - 28 Barbarians

[MiketheSnow]

A gift turnover to Ford followed by a perfectly timed pass puts Francis clear

England 28 - 28 Barbarians

32 mins gone

[antipodean]

28 all in the 32nd minute. Piers Francis with two tries. Hard to tell which team is a Test playing nation.

[MiketheSnow]

Ashton on fire puts Russell away

England 28 - 35 Barbarians

And that's the half

[ShadowTrooper]

Fark me, but tackling is optional for both sides.
May be a ploy for England - but if they continue as they are, in SA they will be gobbled up for sure.
Bloody hell Victor Vito the Baabaas best - defo we should have tried harder to keep him, right now he wouldn't look out of place in a black shirt.

[MiketheSnow]

And awaaaaaayyyy we go

Weak midfield tackling from England and Radradra is over

England 28 - 42 Barbarians

47 mins gone

[MiketheSnow]

Benches released for both sides.

England need to tighten things up to have any chance of winning this

[MiketheSnow]

Penalty for England right under the sticks and go for the penalty.

'Boring, Boring England'

England 31 - 42 Barbarians

50 mins gone

[Stargazer]

I assume still quite a few England players are missing from the squad? If not, they may have a big problem. Can't see this lot put SA away.

[Stargazer]

Great team and game for Fernandez Lobbe to finish his professional career.

[Stargazer]

Geez, how often does a player have to place the ball against the base of the post to get the try awarded?

[MiketheSnow]

Launchbury awarded try by TMO

England rumbling

England 38 - 42 Barbarians

57 mins gone

[Stargazer]

I hope this is a try; it looked awesome. Fekitoa's pass wasn't forwards.
