Eng-BaaBaa's Live Match Thread

[yappysnap]

Slightly late to watching but at 17:00 mins it's Eng 10-0 Barbarians.

Lovely line straight under the posts from Ashton from a little inside ball curtersy of Lee Dickson. England are looking threatening and scarily Stevens is having an impressive match in the loose, scrum looks a mess for both teams.

[yappysnap]

hartley is throwing really well at the lineout, England under a little pressure in their half but nothing too much so far.

[yappysnap]

Baabaa's knock on again as they attack, Eng scrum.

[yappysnap]

Scrum is looking creaky, lots of turning and players standing up on both sides.

[Cumbrian]

To be fair, both teams are fielding entirely new front rows.

[yappysnap]

Eng get the pen for Baabaa's not driving straight.

[yappysnap]

Was their boring in? I honestly don't know how they spot it sometimes.

Baabaa's 13 hammers Farrell completely, but it's already a forward pass.

[Cumbrian]

Barbarians are being very dirty, they are getting away with a lot at the breakdown.

[yappysnap]

Wade intercepts and it's a pen to Eng for Bar sculduggery at the breakdown. Lots of pens given so far.

[captainrapido]

Does anyone have a live feed for this they could pm me? Would be much appreciated revision break.

[yappysnap]

Ashton looking for the ball a lot more in this match, looking good for the SA tour.

[yappysnap]

Stephen Donald really is pants.

Eng have another good lineout but are turned over on the attack, Mils kicks long and Baabaa's make ground.

Farrel looking in discomfort, could we be seeing JJ??

[Cumbrian]

Does anyone have a live feed for this they could pm me? Would be much appreciated revision break.

[link removed-KRD], but its beaurtiful outside and not a really inpiring game so far. well taken try by ashton.

[Cumbrian]

Farrell butchered that, it was a simple draw your man job. Terrible.

[yappysnap]

England attacking 10m's out. But fluff it as it gets out wide, Farrell not going well at 12.

Wade starts it all with a lovely chip and chase which he manages to steal from Mils on the deck.

[yappysnap]

Farrel really isn't a centre, why are we playing him again?!

[doctor_grey]

Agree. Farrell not looking very good at all. But there is a long way to go yet.

[yappysnap]

And if Catt isn't pleased, what was he expecting? Baffling.

[Cumbrian]

Lineout has gone to pot, given the Barbarians an easy out.

[yappysnap]

Wade goes for his third intercept but it's a deliberate knock on. Barbaa's pen and they'll kick long.

[yappysnap]

Barbarians try from Mils.

Eng scrambling defence poor as Balshaw kicks through and his mate chases it up and scrabbles over.

[Cumbrian]

That is effectively a 14 point swing, bad covering/ defence lets the Barbarians in.

[yappysnap]

10-7 with 32 mins gone, Donald gets the extras

[Cumbrian]

Great turn over from Botha.

[captainrapido]

Thank you both!

[Cumbrian]

Great driving maul from England! Oh how I've missed you!

[yappysnap]

Eng come straight back with a driving maul from 10m's out.

[yappysnap]

15-7

Hartely gets the try. 35 mins gone in the first half.

Farrel is having a poor kicking game from the tee too.

[yappysnap]

Barnes will mull it over nicely for us all

[Cumbrian]

Is Farrell rattled from the hits he's taken? Butchering a two on one and shanking two easyish kicks at goal...

[niwatts]

Looks like we've definitely been practicing the old maul techniques

[yappysnap]

Ashton gets his second!

Hartley runs a brilliant line and breaks the defence before a pass to Farrell and then Ashton finishes in the corner.

[Cumbrian]

Hartley is looking fresh and ready for the tour to S.A

[yappysnap]

22-7 just 1 minute remaining

Very nice conversion from the touchline from Farrel

[Cumbrian]

Some of the passing from England has been rubbish.

[yappysnap]

Foden fumbles the restart catch. So last play to Baabaas but nothing comes off it.

[yappysnap]

Some of the passing from England has been rubbish.

We should be playing the forwards in the backs as well, they're running better lines and passing a lot better then the current backs!

[TycroesOsprey]

couple of nice tries by Ashton but its not a great match, sloppy passing from both sides. It looks like a preseason friendly at the moment.

[Cumbrian]

I'm itching to see Wade get the ball in some space.

[Cumbrian]

Not really what I had in mind.

[yappysnap]

Tins knocks on in a good attacking position after a wonderful linebreak from the Baabaa's 13.

[yappysnap]

Btw one change for England at the break, Mullan on for Stevens.

Ashton makes 50 metres before coughing up the ball.

[yappysnap]

And so the hype restarts. Barnes is at it again.

Ashton gets the hat trick

[Cumbrian]

Stupid way to get a hatrick. Thought one of the Barbarians were pulled back though.

[yappysnap]

29-7 five minutes gone.

Sackey off after a quiet time and Taji on

[Geordie]

Farrell is poor ....no attacking skills. Barritt and jj should ha started in the midfield

[Cumbrian]

Wade REALLY needs to stop sprinting out of the defensive line.

[yappysnap]

Hodgson is awful at passing quickly!
