Matchreport: BARBARIANS A vs FRENCH A 29/10/2011 (1-1)
A Poem for the Barbarians A Team
SHAW - MR. KEEPER
Great performance on the course of his talent.
First seasonal game in 'A-team" but already a very good feeling with the defense. To improve the outputs.
Squire.
LAWRENCE
Manage the defense with patient skill. One only distraction and the French scores...!
Left-handed precise and refined: a rarity in defense!
Metronome.
THOMAS
Atypical French guy with rugby passion. Team leader and senior member of the Barbarians.
Last match for him in Beijing: both male and conductive. He never leaves the defense and is not anymore lost in more exotic dribbling. Against its French he gave his best.

On Saturday 22nd October 2011 the Barbarians were taking on the Vikings at Si'de Stadium.After getting beaten by Russia the previous week, the Barbarians were looking to get the three points and return to winning ways.
