Barbarians v South Africa

Okay this is just another vehicle for me to boast about how I have tickets for tomorrows game
but what do you think the score will be?
It would be great to see Robinson go out on a winner

While I don't see this type of match as a win or lose for either side, more of an exhibition type game, I can't see this SA side losing to the baa baa's...

They were formed years ago, before even I was born, and are supposed to encourage an exciting expansive style of rugby.
Hopefully they will let Robinson come onto the pitch first on his own. We may even see him score a try. I'm sure the Springboks will let him through.
Can't wait to see Habana as well
Despite on being a recent convert to the oval shaped ball game (see my "Football is dying" thread elsewhere), I can see the beauty and excitement of the game being played at speed with the ball through the hands.

I like the attitude and lack of histrionics compared to the beautiful game but it just isn't, erm...beautiful.

Plus they're called the Barbarians, which is about as cool as it gets.
Passing, free flowing rugby, "total rugby", is far better than anything football can provide.

The lions are basically a touring side that tour Austrailia, New Zealand and South Africa evry four years.
They once played the Barbarians in the UK to celebrate the Queens Jubilee in 1977 I think.
The Barbarians are basically an invitation team which played International teams, mostly on holidays and special occasions ot end of tours,( HQ used to officialy be in penarth in Wales) made up of players from anywhere. The tradition of the Barbarians is to play very attacking rugby and before used to pick the most attacking and talented players around but the last few years it looks as though they have had to do with who is available
Expect a high scoring game tomorrow !!

Out of the top names advertised when I hit the Purchase button only Robinson and Habana are playing. Ho-hum, time to get off to the pub to start the pre-match drinking.....
Baa Baas seem to have a really good team, Joe Rococoko, Martyn Williams, Justin Marshall, Matt Giteau, Conrad Smith, Jerry Collins, Ma'a Nonu, Mark Regan, etc, how are they B team?
And how are the Springboks a C team? Loads of them went to the World Cup

That's one hell of a team, quit moaning! (Although £120 to watch an exhibition match is a tad steep.)

Great game, well it was for me. Not quite so good for my South African friend
Cheers
