A Barbarians match by its very nature is set up to be a thrilling and off the cuff game of rugby, and never was this truer than for their upcoming fixture against the Wallabies on October 28 at Allianz Stadium in Sydney.

Due to domestic competitions continuing in both South Africa and New Zealand Alan Jones, former Wallabies coach Alan Jones has taken the reigns of a very Australian looking Barbarians side.
Setting it up to be a contest with something a stake, with several Aussie fringe players looking to make their mark, then throw into the mix captain Quade Cooper and you have the recipe for a game of rugby you won’t want to miss.
Brumbies captain Sam Carter and rising stars like Tom Banks and Taniela Tupou will be looking to use the match as a platform to get selected for the Autumn Internationals. There’s no better opportunity than a match with Wallaby coach Michael Cheika in attendance.
Additional foreign players will also be added to the squad once it is known who will compete in both the Mitre 10 and Currie Cup finals, but until then lets just get excited about a Barbarians team captained by a man who completely embodies the spirit of the side.
