@ grootblousmile:
Hello Gbs, yes the problem is that so many of the Fiji players play in Europe so not available for Fiji for this game, you can see the side of the clubs as they have had to do without players for quite a part of their season with the World Cup. This Fiji team is doing quite well, so hopefully this will give their fringe players a good opportunity. Not sure how the profits earned through this game are distributed but be good if a big chunk of it goes to Fiji, would be a good boost for them.
Have been impressed with Marco v Staden he has been quite involved with good carries and some good defensive work. Problem with this Baabaas starting team seems to be too weak at lock and apart from Beast do they have another prop on the field, also Best not having his best game.
5m BaaBaas scrum…
Scrum penalty… tap
Try Makazole Mapimpi!
Josh Strauss replaced by Cotterill
Barbarians 17 / 21 Fiji
Basteraud subbed
