Last night, this year's crop of BaaBaas ended their "tour", with an untelevised game against Leicester Tigers. Just because it wasn't on tv, doesn't mean it couldn't have been enjoyed:

 

Barbarians beat Leicester 59-26 in what seemed like a great game. It marked the end of the career for Springbok Jacques Botes, a no.8, who in his last 3 minutes of rugby ever, missed a conversion, scored a try and then converted his own conversion. Not a patch on any of these lads mind.

Watch the highlights from the match here.
