Star prop Leo Wiki looks to the referee to see if his try is allowed in the Southland premier club rugby fixture against Blues. The Barbarians team was introduced to Southland's premier club rugby competition in 2012 to fill a gap. A week after losing by one point to defending champions Marist the Barbarians responded with a 45-12 victory over Te Anau in Te Anau on Saturday after leading 21-7 at halftime. The result means Star, Blues, and Pirates-Old Boys will advance to the Galbraith Shield round as the top three teams in pool 2.
