TheKing will be doing a match report of the two days of the Aussie matches tomorrow and Friday. HJ Nelson will be supplying photos for next Friday's match at Ballymore.

But King doesn't have a photographer for tomorrow's match at Terrace.

So, if you are able to take a few snaps and send them to TheKing he would appreciate it. Send him a convo about it.

If you are a serious amateur that would be great but if you can just take a phone shot of a crowd scene that would be OK too.

The main thing is that the photos you send in should be in focus, and not too bright nor too dark - nor shot into the sun.

Thanks

Interesting to see Charlie Smith on the bench. Perhaps some concern about his size matching up to the bigger NZ players?

His size has definitely been his biggest hinderance, it stood out quite a bit when he was playing for NSW I.

Fantastic game, the Barbarians were unlucky to go down 23-22. The Scots boys (Hawkins, Strang and Smith) were all very, very impressive, Hoopert, Leota, Wallis, Stewart and Coward also played extremely well.

Well done to the Ba Ba's. A gutsy performance against a much bigger opposition. Just a kick in it by the end. They never gave in and had a never say die attitude.

On a negative, was disappointed with the referee. NZ Schools were allowed to infringe at the ruck, sometimes at will and were offside more than were penalised.

As stated previously, I thought we would have a good chance against NZ schools given the performances of the Ozzie boys to date; now just have to carry it through to the end. Well done again boys! (Loved the live feed!)

Good weather. Good location. Good rugby. Good result. Healthy crowd.

Bad canteen. Warm "hot" food. Slow service. Soggy chips. Poor selection of drinks.

Try !!!! to Jack Farrell.

Good games today. The Baba's IMO played well against the NZ team, Well Done boys! The Aus team started well against the Samoans, well structured, good running and passing in the first half and seemed to fall apart in the second when the changes ran on, they lacked the structure and intensity of the first half. They may have to lift their game against the NZ boys.

a couple of observations from todays games:
1) how bad was the aussie goalkicking in both matches!;
2) Baa Baas scored 3 tries to 2 and deserved the win but for 1 lazy kick chase and missed kicks at goal;
3) Hawkins and Strang were the best in the Baa Baas. they must have made a great backline for Scots with E nglish who is 12 in Aussie schools;
4)Hawkins gave the Umunga twins real problems;
5) NZ schools were disappointing- a lot of one out stuff;
6) leota who was 5 in Baa Baas had a good game and was still running at the end,
7) that is a very big very tall Aussie schools pack;
8) if Kennewell can play 12 then I would put him and Hawkins together

Match Report on Australian Schools Barbarian fixture against NZ Schools from Aust Schools Rugby
by Mahliah Ivory
http://www.schoolsrugby.com.au/2015...rbarians-go-down-in-close-one-to-new-zealand/


In perfect conditions at Gregory Terrace fields, Tennyson, the Australian Schools Barbarians battled against New Zealand Schools in a tightly contested match up.
NZ Schools came away with a marginal 23-22 victory over the Barbarians, with both teams impressing a packed out Old Boys Grandstand.
The first half saw the Barbarians concede multiple penalties against the opposition, leaving them playing catch up towards the conclusion of the first half.
New Zealand Schools flyhalf, Josh McKay, opened the scoring for his side 11minutes into the first half, after his team was awarded a penalty for an Australian infringement at the back of a rolling maul.
Shortly after, the Barbarians looked set to score at the hands of James Hawkins, who made an impressive break through opposition defence to give Australia a competitive attacking advantage.
However, the pressure of NZ’s forward pack caused a drop ball, forcing a turnover and denying Australia their crucial first points of the match.
NZ Schools had the opportunity to further extend their lead 18 minutes into the first half after conceding a penalty, but an unsuccessful kick held the score at 3-0.
Another successful penalty kick for NZ in the 23rd minute extended the visitors lead to 6-0.
Josh McKay scored his second try of the day after making a dynamic run through Australian defence, fending off tackles before finally crashing over the line.
McKay successfully converted his own try, taking NZ to a 13-0 lead.
Barbarians winger, Kris Verevis, added the team’s only points in the first half when he scored a try, which was successfully converted by Hamish Stewart.
Just before halftime, the Barbarians’ Harry Hoopert was given a yellow card after a ruck infringement close to the NZ scoreline.
The penalty kick for NZ was successful, taking the score to 16-7 leading into the break.
After the second half break, the Barbarians looked dangerous in the opening minutes, dominating at scrum time and putting renewed pressure on their NZ opposition.
NZ Schools powerhouse, Josh McKay impressed again when a clearing kick from teammate Kemara Hauiti Parapara bounced into his hands after a pacing chase down the midfield.
McKay outran the Barbarian backrow to reach the ball and dive over the line.
The Australian Barbarians opened their second half scoring with a try after a strong push through defence from the forwards, but an unsuccessful conversion kept the score to 23-12.
The Barbarians second try of the half came after they played the ball wide, giving their backs space to run the ball forward and close to the line.
The front row finished off the team effort when multiple pick and drive efforts finally led Harry Hoopert to find the line for his team.
A successful conversion took the score to 23-19, before an Australian penalty closed the gap, taking the Barbarians to a narrow trail of 23-22.
Both teams defensive line held up for the remainder of the second half, with the match rounding out with NZ Schools taking out a marginal 23-22 victory
