[Wilson]

A bit surprised Valetini is going around again in this match, most of the other Australians missed a significant chunk of time this year, where as he has played every wallaby game and all but 2 Brumbies games, starting every game he played. Would've thought he could use as much off season as he could get.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Wilson, maybe he's out to prove that our players are capable of, and need to be, playing more games to reach the pinnacle in world rugby?

 

[shanky]

Remind me who picks the BaaBaas team? It’s their committee, or someone else?

[Dctarget]

What a starting front row and bench.

A good question. Not sure of the answer. I think you are invited to play from the Barbarians Club?

 

[shanky]

I looked it up just then

It is by invitation of the Committee of which there are 10 members, including ex players. Rory Best is currently one of them.

Yeah but we played like half a season's worth of games.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

A mate who is pretty plugged into the elite coaching setup in England says that Hooper and EJ (Eddie Jones) have barely spoken to each other this week. I can't imagine why.

kinda respect them both for doing it. I guess they both would've been selected months ago?

Wales 47 Barbarians 26.

 

[Drew]

To be fair, the BaaBaas have been in decline for the last 20 years. Nothing to do with the coach at all

 

[RugbyReg]

Worth watching?

 

[Yoda]

Worth watching?

Probably. Had its moments. The Fijian number 9 played really well as did Perese I thought.

 

[Pfitzy]

This entire broadcast is amateur. Priestland is dull as dishwater. The audio is crap. They can't even get the player jerseys right in the substitution banner

 

[Derpus]

Any highlights good sirs?

 

[Crashy]

Angus Bell's line bust, sprint and chip kick to set up a try was mine.
