                        28 all in the 32nd minute. Piers Francis with two tries. Hard to tell which team is a Test playing nation.

                            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.

                                Benches released for both sides.

                                England need to tighten things up to have any chance of winning this

                                    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?

                                            I hope this is a try; it looked awesome. Fekitoa's pass wasn't forwards.

                                                  I love how you see the show element in every Baabaas game, no matter who's on the field.

                                                      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

                                                            Fuck off you stupid commentator.

                                                            Barbarians have it easier to put a team together compared with the England side.

                                                            AGAIN FUCK OFF

                                                                      Jones got a lot of work to do this Summer.

                                                                                Robshaw off the pace badly.

                                                                                And Hartley can fuck off too.

                                                                                If it wasn't for those three early tries we would have won.
