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.

Barbarians: 3 Conversions & 1 Try James O’Connor, 2 Tries Drew Mitchell, 1 Try Quintin Geldenhuys
