Luke Whitelock playing for the Barbarians and TJ Perenara wrestle for the ball. But the Barbarians were on the front foot from the start and worked flyhalf Richie Mo’unga over in the corner, then added a second try when Steven Luatua intercepted and ran 70 metres to send George Bridge over. The Barbarians were on top for the first 10 minutes of the second half but New Zealand eventually started making inroads and in a flash had surged into the lead. Ngani Laumape smashed through for the first try before Sam Cane and Nathan Harris ran through some porous defence to turn the game around. The Barbarians regrouped well and went toe-to-toe for the final quarter and finished on a high with a superb last-minute score by fullback David Havili.
