[Stargazer]

Good penalty kick from Cam Millar.

Fantastic try to the Barbarians! Great kick from Jacomb and Joel Cobb gets a good bounce and scores.

Jacomb converts.

How has Gavigan gone at prop @Stargazer? He’s another one on the Canes radar.

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Not really catching the eye. The Barbarians' strength clearly in the backrow, not the frontrow.

[Stargazer]

Awesome try!!! That looks from Tony Brown's playbook except that it's a Barbarians try!

Quick tap from O'Connor, backward kick from Broughton and Gualter scores!

Jacomb converts.

Barbarians U21 29 - 17 Highlanders U20

[Stargazer]

Now a try to the Highlanders left winger, Asi.

Millar converts.

Barbarians U21 29 - 24 Highlanders U20

[Stargazer]

Try to Tiaki Fabish! Well-deserved.

Jacomb converts.

Barbarians U21 36 - 24 Highlanders U20

[Stargazer]

Barbarians so dominant, even more so in this second half.

Try to reserve LH prop Tupou Lea'aemanu. Jacomb converts.

Barbarians U21 43 - 24 Highlanders U20

[Stargazer]

So many handling errors from the Highlanders. Some real coach killers.

Deserved win to the Baabaas, with several players standing out, but Hato Pāora College product & of Plenty player Nikora Broughton the clear Man of the Match.

Am a bit disappointed with the Highlanders U20s' performance. They have some names in their squad but they didn't perform well.

I've just watched a recording of this game. It is a good idea to make the Barbarians U21 as they are a much stronger team with players who have another year of development under their belts. I wouldn't be surprised to see them win at least one of their remaining games.

Agree about Gualter's try. Keeping the Baabaas spirit alive.
