Barbarians v World XV

[Rancid Schnitzel]

This is actually something that excites me a bit. Will probably watch on Stan.

Interesting that Foolhow is there. Would have been the target of a boycott not that long ago.

Can't say I recognise many of the World XV forwards (three)!

Same for me for Baabaa's forwards

I was hoping to see a cool World XV jersey like this;

Green squiggles is pretty meh.

Game more like a Sunday game of afternoon footy in the park between sides made up of whoever-turns-up-plays. Pretty much keystone cops moves most of the time. Pretty loose from both teams. Knock-ons and TOs are the order of the day. Tamanivalu a handful. Piutau, Li, Bryn Hall, look ok plus Radradra, Cooper, Anscombe. Others not so much. Nice cameo from Cruden. Folau still a fluffybuuny. Comms said Piutau was the best player they had seen in England for a while. Go figure.

@Jailbreak7 I didn't see the game, but the Twitter commentary from the Barbarians account was entertaining, as usual.
