Ireland vs Barbarians – Game Thread

Published 4 June 2010 | By grootblousmile

Ireland (10) 23 / Barbarians (21) 29 (Final Score)

Ireland hosted the Barbarians at Thomond Park at 20:45 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.

The Barbarians beat a decidedly ordinary Irish team, by going ahead early on and piling on the pressure and points, whereafter it was catch-up rugby for the Irish, who although clawing their way back, just could not haul the Barbarians in.

Ireland: 3 Penalties & 2 Conversions Ronan O’Gara, 1 Try Niall Ronan, 1 Try Tony Buckley
