Barbarians vs Fiji, 30th November
Bit disappointing for Fiji the game marking their Centenary is on the other side of the world, but it is an exciting conclusion to their Autumn Tour. Do they at least get the gate receipts?
In any event, the Barbarians squad named is quite strong.
Barbarians squad:
Backs: Willie le Roux (South Africa), Santiago Cordero (Argentina), Charles Piutau (New Zealand), Frank Halai (New Zealand), Jean de Villiers (South Africa), Gavin Williams (Samoa), Patrick Lambie (South Africa), Tom Taylor (New Zealand), TJ Perenara (Hurricanes), Martin Landajo (Argentina)
Forwards: Keven Mealamu (New Zealand), Bismarck du Plessis (South Africa), Tendai Mtawarira (South Africa), Guillermo Roan (Argentina), Coenie Oosthuizen (South Africa), Matias Diaz (Argentina), Eben Etzebeth (South Africa), Dominic Bird (New Zealand), Manuel Carizza (Argentina), Steven Luatua (New Zealand), Luke Whitelock (New Zealand), Schalk Burger (South Africa), Duane Vermeulen (South Africa)
They are normally stronger in this test window than in the summer with Springboks and All Blacks coming in- they've also avoided the common pitfall of Barbarians squads in being all old guys at the end of their career. A lot of guys who are on their way up as opposed to their way down.
