Today's BaBaas No. 9, his Dad Alan Williams and Luke Charteris showing rugby is a game for all shapes & sizes 😂
-
Fantastic start from the Barbarians
3 tries to nil (Ashton 2, Vito)
England 0 - 21 Barbarians
15 mins gone
-
Daly over for England. Strong through average tackling.
England 7 - 21 Barbarians
18 mins gone
-
Francis over for England
Forward pass from Ford early on but England finished well
England 14 - 21 Barbarians
22 mins gone
-
Ashton gets his hat-trick
England 14 - 28 Barbarians
27 mins gone
-
Great break from Daly puts Mercer over
England 21 - 28 Barbarians
29 mins gone
-
A gift turnover to Ford followed by a perfectly timed pass puts Francis clear
England 28 - 28 Barbarians
32 mins gone
-
28 all in the 32nd minute. Piers Francis with two tries. Hard to tell which team is a Test playing nation.
-
Ashton on fire puts Russell away
England 28 - 35 Barbarians
And that's the half
-
Fark me, but tackling is optional for both sides.
May be a ploy for England - but if they continue as they are, in SA they will be gobbled up for sure.
Bloody hell Victor Vito the Baabaas best - defo we should have tried harder to keep him, right now he wouldn't look out of place in a black shirt. -
And awaaaaaayyyy we go
Weak midfield tackling from England and Radradra is over
England 28 - 42 Barbarians
47 mins gone
-
Benches released for both sides.
England need to tighten things up to have any chance of winning this
-
Penalty for England right under the sticks and go for the penalty.
'Boring, Boring England'
England 31 - 42 Barbarians
50 mins gone
-
I assume still quite a few England players are missing from the squad? If not, they may have a big problem. Can't see this lot put SA away.
-
Great team and game for Fernandez Lobbe to finish his professional career.
-
Geez, how often does a player have to place the ball against the base of the post to get the try awarded?
-
Launchbury awarded try by TMO
England rumbling
England 38 - 42 Barbarians
57 mins gone
-
I hope this is a try; it looked awesome. Fekitoa's pass wasn't forwards.
-
Try Timani! And converted: 38-49 Baabaas
-
Take that the English juggernaut
Timani in at the corner
England 38 - 49 Barbarians
61 mins gone
-
I love how you see the show element in every Baabaas game, no matter who's on the field.
-
Sheridan's love child on the park for England
-
Epic skill from Tipuric to put Ashton away but he knocks on in goal.
That could have finished England off
-
Beaumont penalised for pulling back. Should have been yellow.
-
Barbarians battering and getting close, spread it and outflanked England again.
Radradro played hell with England all day.
England 38 - 56 Barbarians
74 mins gone
-
Fuck off you stupid commentator.
Barbarians have it easier to put a team together compared with the England side.
AGAIN FUCK OFF
-
Great kick through from Cipriani and May finishes well
Consolation score
England 45 - 56 Barbarians
77 mins gone
Radradra MOTM
-
@mikethesnow Hmmm, they had to make some last minute replacements though. Aki, Piutau and McGinty suddenly unavailable.
-
And a fitting end to a great performance and Vito goes over
Lobbe with the conversion
England 45 - 63 Barbarians
And that's a wrap.
-
Awesome to see Fernandez Lobbe come back on to kick the final conversion! Entertaining game.
-
Regardless of what stage of the season and which 23 you field, conceding 63 points has to be a very low point for England.
Jones got a lot of work to do this Summer.
-
Haven't seen an announcement yet about Barbarians' games in November. I assume they'll play either SA of Oz, and maybe a game against one of the PI teams and/or a tier 2/3 team.
-
Thankfully some honest talk from Ford
-
4 losses on the bounce for Eddie's England
-
@mikethesnow Like I said England appear to be going backwards under Eddie
-
@shadowtrooper said in 2018 June Internationals:
@mikethesnow Like I said England appear to be going backwards under Eddie
Picking out of form / past it players doesn't help.
Robshaw off the pace badly.
And Hartley can fuck off too.
If it wasn't for those three early tries we would have won.
-
With the horseshit spouted by the English commentators, Eddie, Hartley and Daly is Alistair Campbell on board with England?
-
Don't want to be the grammar police Eddie, but please replace 'The Barbarians were a very experienced team' with the 'scratch Barbarians team playing their first game together had a lot of experience '
