Ireland (10) 23 / Barbarians (21) 29 (Final Score)
Ireland hosted the Barbarians at Thomond Park at 20:45 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.
The Barbarians beat a decidedly ordinary Irish team, by going ahead early on and piling on the pressure and points, whereafter it was catch-up rugby for the Irish, who although clawing their way back, just could not haul the Barbarians in.

I hope they have some good running rugby in this game..
I’m a neutral for this match…. neither team has players in which I support over the other…
Gooooooooooo Rugby!
True story Gbs,but I dont like Ireland because they have been beating us lately so come on the Barbarians 🙂
Weird Forwards pack for the Irish…. all strange players to me.
Should be an interesting match.
Hehehehe, John Robbie says Xavier rush has been playing rugby since the Dead Sea was sick….
Game on.
Plenty penalties early on…. eishhhhhhh
I believe they are trying to blood new forwards Gbs.
This game is so much slower than Super 14,hope we have a dry field tomorrow.
8@ Winston:
The way that the BaaBaas are tackling, they will literally be blooded… hehehe

BaaBaas 3 / 0
Come on Baa Baa,s,get involved boys.
13@ Winston:
Very friendly fella….
Some huge hits are being put in here..
I think he needs to get rid of Dick and Gary but it wont happen unfortunately..
Ireland look flat here,they might catch a hiding here if they dont wake up.
I see the Sharks want to buy Gavin Henson. For fark sakes why dont we give a young guy a chance!!!
6-0 Baa Baa’s
18@ Winston:
I also think Gary Glitter and Dicey Dickie will pull him down…. needs better assistants.
Well, having met Dicey Dickie at a match presser at Loftus,,,, what a plonker…
BaaBaas 6 / 0
BaaBaas 6 / 3
Does he think is a hero or what Gbs? I see you were also in a picture with Wynie Strydom,he has to be the most passionate rugby man in this country..
25@ Winston:
Wynie is a cool oke…. he was very nervous then, was about an hour before the Bulls / Saders match at Orlando
Nobody can understand this clown ref 🙂
