Pommie BaaBaa & Froggie XV

[Crucial]

I thought the schedule was Baabaas, Real France, Pretend France (midweek), Scotland?

[pakman]

@crucial Quite right: my bad. Seem to have mental block on order. Slightly revised below:

NZ Development XV

Perry/Harris/JTA/Savea/PatT/Barrett (S) /Fifita/Kaino/TKB/DMac/ALB/Goodhue/Seta T/Duffie/Havili

Bench: Crockett/Aumua/Moli/Hunt/Bird/Drummond/
Mo'unga/Ioane

Need a wing on bench as Seta handily covers midfield, so Naholo or Ioane, who has a few less miles on the clock.

Bench: Perry/Harris/JTA/Pat T/Savea (A)/ThomasJP/BB/ALB

The name of this thread needs changing. There's nothing remotely 'pommy' about the Baabaas. You have to search very hard for a player from north of the equator.

As mentioned in the newspaper the ABs-Baabaas game could just have easily been played in NZ when you look at who is in the Baabaas team.

Yeah, its a bit sad that a rugby tradition such as the Baabaas has effectively died due to the club/schedule structure in the UK

[Bovidae]

There's another game on this weekend too.

[Stargazer]

Looking at that line-up, the Baabaas actually do have a chance of winning this game.

Here's the story:

[Bovidae]

So who is playing TH prop?

[Tim]

Barbarians are paying $8.50. Worth a lazy $10.

@bovidae some south sea islander. They're in England now.

[Bovidae]

allblacks.com have changed their team list so the Tongan starts over the Samoan.

ABs not holding back during skills sessions .....

Looks like they are practising getting penalised for holding on in the tackle.

Interesting that Hunt makes 23 as back up wing/fullback!

Weather is absolute shite today. Real englishy rain and dark skies.
KO may be 3pm but I'd say lights will be on, ground will be wet and it will start getting cold.
