## Resource

Are the Barbarians RFC still relevant in 2026? For this mini-documentary I took a trip to Allianz Stadium (Twickenham) to watch the Barbarians vs Wales in June 2026 to see if the famous rugby team still mattered. I watch both the men's and women's teams take on the Welsh to see what the differences were between both sides. With star players like Faf de Klerk and George North, can the Baabaas still work their magic? Or has Ruby Tui shown that now is the time for the women to take over? Featuring @Sport-in-a-Minute and @8-9Rugby the 89 combo pod referenced: https://youtu.be/nfswgdQjBu0?si=UkMFzwsMuFbfbeWu #rugby #barbarians #Wales #highlights #vlog #interview #documentary #springboks #women Follow me on twitter: https://x.com/HuwGriffinRugby Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580910041103 Chapters 0:00 Historical Team 1:45 The Problem 3:24 CONTROVERSIAL TAKE 4:19 The Game Begins 5:46 The George North Bit 7:28 The Other Barbarians 9:20 Ruby Tui Learn more about your ad choices.
