Barbarians Vs Fiji

The eagerly anticipated clash between the Barbarians and Fiji next season has been set for Saturday 30 November at Twickenham.

Barbarians' president Micky Steele-Bodger said: “The Barbarians have always had a special affection for Fiji's rugby and its players. Last year Isa Nacewa and Akapusi Qera were very popular Baa-Baas and wore our shirt with distinction. We look forward to players like them providing equally exciting opposition next November.”

One of the most celebrated matches ever played by the Barbarians was back in 1970 when Fiji shocked the rugby world by demolishing a star-studded Barbarians' team containing legendary names such as Edwards, Duckham, Bennett, Slattery and JPR Williams by 29 points to nine. Now two of the most attack-orientated teams in the game are set for a rematch.

Fiji Rugby Union chief executive officer Manasa Baravilala said: “The year 2013 marks the centenary of the game in our country and we are honoured to be invited to celebrate this landmark with another game against the famous Barbarians".
