Turns out it was FWm (or perhaps FRD?) Johnny McNicholl.

And FWm Willis Halaholo as well.

Brazil have named their Os Tupis squad for the Baabaas game (translation by google):

Brazil Rugby is the best

[Billy Webb]

@Machpants those are fabulous. Wish I could give you more upvotes.

[Stargazer]

Brazil scored the first try after a clever chip kick.

[Stargazer]

Try to Campese Maafu after a break and try assist from Pete Samu.

7 all after 22 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Awesome break and try assist from David Havili! Try Bautista Ezcurra.

14 - 10 Baabaas after 31 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Try David Havili.

19 - 10 to the Baabaas after 39 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Try Luiz Vieira for Brazil. Lost count of the number of attempts; the Baabaas defence held for quite a while.

Ref letting a lot of things slide in this game.

Half time: Brazil 15 - 19 Barbarians

[Stargazer]

Try to Angus Cottrell.

The Baabaas lead 26 - 15 after 48 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Discipline is a bit of an issue for Brazil. I blame the ref. It's what you get if you let too many things go.

[Stargazer]

Havili has moved to first five now.
Edited to add that he seems to have taken over the captaincy as well.

And just as I write that, the Baabaas halfback, Jano Vermaak, scores a try; Havili converts.

Baabaas lead33 - 15 after 54 minutes.

[Stargazer]

There is no English commentary for this game, so Sky broadcasts the game without commentary. Strangely enough (or maybe it's not so strange?), I'm not missing it at all.

[Stargazer]

Ball against the base of the post! Angus Cottrell scores his second try.. Easy conversion for Havili.

40 - 15 Baabaas after 66 minutes

[Stargazer]

Felipe Cunha scores for Brazil.

40 - 22 to the Baabaas after 73 minutes.

[Stargazer]

David Havili scores another try. Awesome, Rory Best converts the try!!

47 - 22 Baabaas. One minute to go.

[Stargazer]

That's the full time score. Maybe not the best of games, but an awesome occasion for rugby in Brazil. Not a full stadium like the game against the Maori ABs, but still a good crowd for an evening game on a week day.

[Stargazer]

Rory Best's conversion.
