I saw this game with tariq n uma in tele. thought it will be entertaining match to watch with all big names from southern hemisphere team together to match against gold coast australian. unfortunately its NOT!!!!.. really boring..so many mistakes made by the barbarians..more so, the no.10 barba Francois Steyn..stop kicking drop goal..you not GOOD..i dont know why the coach pick u as fly half in the first place. no attacking mind, poor tackle, no set play, poor touch kick..definitely not my 15 player in the world..better choose carlos spencer or butch james instead of him..

he made us scream in front of tele like crazy people. mad like dog barking. lucky i'm not in wembley stadium. for Australia, well prepared. balance team with youth and experience in the team. well worth winning. applause to them..

really made my night even worse.i'm waiting reviews post match. want to see if any agrees with comments i made.
