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.

Bullscot, sorry for only replying now…. yip, was awesome at the Final…
Saw your comment, honestly have not studied the rules and regulations governing the International window stuff….. personally I think the PRL are being freegin DOOOOOSES about this Butch matter…. for instance, it’s OK if Britz plays tonight but not Butch tomorrow…. double standards and bloody pedantic if you ask me!

@ grootblousmile:
No worries man, glad you enjoyed it. I had a look back at the first posting about this on the site and it mentioned – IRB Regulation 9.7 (a) – for Global Release Periods. As I said on my post they may be right strictly according to the letter of the law but not the spirit, but hey I’m no legal man. Time to head away.
