Ronan O’Gara and Scott Robertson to lead the British barbarians in November
Ronan O’Gara and Scott Robertson will take charge of the British Barbarians when they face the 15th All Blacks in November.
Ireland’s Ronan O’Gara and New Zealand’s Scott Robertson, head coach of La Rochelle (top 14) and the Crusaders (Super Rugby), will lead the British Barbarians when they meet the All Blacks 15th in November, the Papas announced Thursday.
‘Make room for one but two world-class coaches: Ronan O’Gara and Scott Robertson to lead our game against the All Blacks XV’He tweeted to the Rugby Invitational Club.
The match, against the “reserve” team of the All Blacks, will take place on November 13 in London, at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
On June 19 at Twickenham Stadium, the British barbarians, led by Blues coach Fabian Galthe and their French captain Charles Olivon, got rid of England (52-21).
The “Baabaas”, including ten Frenchmen, spent eight attempts at the very cute XV de la Rose before going to Australia for their summer tour.
Perhaps due to this humiliating defeat, Eddie Jones’ men won two of their three test match series against the Wallabies.
