Barbarians v World XV

[Dctarget]

Crossing fingers that Kerevi & Quade come out unscathed. Kinda happy that Koroibete isn't playing anymore. We know he's fit and firing and doesn't need another chance to injure himself. Pretty fun coaching line up with EJ (Eddie Jones) against Steve Hansen too. Good luck to Phipps, Simmons & Hockings too.

BARBARIANS (15-1): Gareth Anscombe, Adam Radwan, Seta Tamanivalu, Samu Kerevi, Tevita Li, Quade Cooper (vc), Jack Maunder, Steven Luatua, Kai Yamamoto, Aaron Wainwright, Stephan Lewies, Alun Wyn Jones (c), Enrique Pieretto, Nic Bolly, Alex Waller

RESERVES: Harry Thacker, Tom West, Carlu Sadie, Rob Simmons, Sione Vailanu, Francois Hougaard, Aaron Cruden, Sam Johnson.

WORLD XV (15-1): Charles Piutau, Israel Folau, Semi Radradra, Ngani Laumape, Sbu Nkosi, Adam Hastings, Nick Phipps, Vilame Ratuniyarawa, Michele Lamaro, Sebastian Negri, Harry Hockings, Api Ratuniyarawa, Oli Keeble, Fraser Brown, Wyn Jones

RESERVES: Elliot Dee, Allan Dell, Marcus Street, Niccolo Cannone, Jordi Murphy, Bryn Hall, Rhys Parchell, Kaminieli Rasaku

Laumape being the smallest Centre on the field is wild. Quade, mate, bro, uso. Just get out of the way

Maybe Eddie can get a word into Sam Johnson's ear to come back

The matchup in the centres is amazing.

I mean it's quite comical having the World XV tag, not sure you'd pick a single one in a World XV side, maybe Folau and Radrada but not much form to go off. The other guys wouldn't even come close to a World XV G team.

don't think many in the other side are actual barbarians to be fair

It's named after the team's founder, John World.

Radradra, Piutau, Laumape have all been in the conversation at times. Piutau especially has been the form fullback for the Premiership for a while.

There's a few Welsh...

The meaning of BARBARIAN is a person from an alien land, culture, or group believed to be inferior, uncivilized, or violent

No real Barbarians any more, I assume. Maybe I am the only one old enough to remember when the name meant something? My junior coach, a lovely Pommy, wore a blazer with a Barbarians patch on the pocket.

Did he tie an onion to his belt?

Interesting Anscombe taking the goal kicking and penalty touch kicking over Quade.

Be good if Quade could get a tune up on a few shots as well.

Kerevi off injured after 20 minutes………..

Who's the second pommy commentator (not Vickerman)?

Bit of a plonker.

That Folau bloke seems a good finisher.
