Barbarians (19) 26 / Springboks (3) 20 (Final Score)
The Barbarians and the Springboks met at Twickenham, North London, at 16:30 SA Time on Saturday in the last match for Southern Hemisphere rugby interest for 2010. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 2, M-Net and SuperSport HD on TV in SA.
It was an error-ridden match with lots of penalties by the French referee and most of the excitement came from the Barbarians in the first 20 minutes.
The Barbarians scored 4 tries, the Springboks 3.
Kicking to posts by Elton Jantjies was abysmal.

OK, here’s what will happen, I believe…
The Young and disjointed Bokke will put up a good fight, specially for the 1st 25 minutes, till the Barbarian backline really finds their rhytm…. then it will be murder.
Hope I’m wrong…
Gooooooooo Bokkeeeeeeee !!
@ grootblousmile:
Amen to that!
Unfortunately I also think we will loose, but don’t think it will be a hiding.
