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?
