Twickenham, London, England (GenevaLunch) - The Barbarians rugby club, the self styled “United Nations of Rugby”, pulled off an already-famous victory with the help of three tries by South African winger Bryan Habana. It was the first win over the All Blacks by the Baa-Baas since the historic match in 1973 which featured perhaps the greatest try in rugby history (see video below). The Barbarians, selected on the basis of the ability to play exciting rugby, scored with a series of break-away tries finished off by Habana, one of the fastest sprinters in the sport.
