Barbarians: November 2019 Tour
-
@scribe The Baabaas are always releasing the names of their squad members one by one (or two, three), like they're dripfeeding us the names. I haven't seen more names than posted earlier; only exception is Pumas & Jaguares prop Ramiro Herrera, whose name I had missed.
If players' travel pictures on social media are anything to go by, there's a possibility that David Havili and Andrew Makalio? are in the squad (and Pete Samu), but that's a wild guess haha. I'm only sure of Samu being in London.
Edited to add that Nigel Owens has received special dispensation from World Rugby to officiate the Wales v Baabaas game.

I thought Gatland would be on the first plane back to Chiefs land, obviously has a few loose ends to sort out first. Wouldnβt be surprised if Gatland Jnr gets a run.
I imagine coaching the Baabaa's - as well as being a bloody fun time - would be a very nice little xmas bonus.
Yeah I think they get a very nice bonus, didnβt an Aussie player get pulled up at the airport with their BaaBaas cash?
Yep.
**Wallabies trio escape ARU censure over cash stash
Greg Growden
March 28, 2011The Australian Rugby Union will take no action after three Wallabies were issued with infringement notices by the Australian Federal Police after failing to declare money to Customs officers. Matt Giteau, Adam Ashley-Cooper and Drew Mitchell were investigated by the AFP after not declaring more than $60,000 in cash to Customs when they returned to Sydney following the Wallabies' end-of-season tour last December. The money was earned when the trio played for the Barbarians at the end of the northern hemisphere tour. The players said they had forgotten to declare the money, and were fined $220 each by the AFP. An ARU spokesman yesterday said the union had made inquires on the matter. ''It is important to note it is not an offence to bring in to the country more than $10,000 in foreign currency,'' the spokesman said. ''The issue has been dealt with, and we consider the matter closed.''*
*It is an offence not to declare over $10,000 hence the fine. I do wonder why they were paid in cash though? Avoiding the ATO with overseas earnings?

@Snowy I doubt anyone forgets they're carrying $20k

@antipodean Exactly.

@Stargazer No Herschel Jantjies and Schalk Brits?

@Stargazer Why the fook are they playing a loose forward in the centres?

Fiji
1 Samuela Tawake (Manuwatu β Debut)
2 Ratu Veremalua Vugakoto (Fijian Drua β 9 caps)
3 Eroni Mawi (Fijian Drua β 12 caps)
4 Temo Mayanavanua (Northland β debut)
5 Sikeli Nabou (Counties Manukau β 6 caps)
6 Mosese Voka (Fijian Drua β 9 caps)
7 John Dyer (Fijian Drua β 1 cap)
8 Eremasi Radrodro (Fijian Drua β 4 caps)
9 Frank Lomani (Melbourne Rebels β 14 caps)
10 Teti Tela (Queensland Reds β debut)
11 Patrick Osborne (Canterbury β 9 caps)
12 Serupepeli Vularika (Fijian Drua β 10 caps)
13 Asaeli Tikoirotuma (North Harbour β 23 caps)

17 Joeli Veitayaki (Fijian Drua β 6 caps)
18 Mosese Ducivaki (Fijian Drua β 3 caps)
19 Tevita Naqali (Fijian Drua β debut)

21 Peni Matawalu (Fijian Drua β debut)
22 Caleb Muntz (Fijian Drua β debut)
23 Cyril Reece (Fijian Drua β debut).
I was wondering what team Fiji could field, with all their regular test players back with their European clubs and unlikely to be released. So it's mostly Fijian Drua players from the NRC and some Mitre 10 Cup and SR players. Only one player from Europe. -

@Stargazer reckon they could have got in touch with Nakarawa...
Beat me too it!
It's live on Sky Sport 1, which is good (recording it, obvs!)
