Some of the lesser lights in the Wallabies spring tour squad get a chance to shine in the national colours when they take on the French Barbarians at Stade Chaban-Delmas on Friday, November 25 with kick-off scheduled for 6:45am (AEDT).
Kick-off: 6:45am (AEDT), Friday November 25
Venue: Stade Chaban-Delmas
TV: None

The Wallabies have had a dream start to their Spring Tour, winning all three games so far against Wales, Ireland and France.
Their remaining two international games against Ireland and England to complete the grand slam will get put on the backburner for a couple of days though as the Wallabies take on the Barbarians, a side made out of the French Top 14 league’s best players.
The game will not be broadcast on TV, either pay or free-to-air channels, however there is a free and exclusive stream on rugby.com.au, which will bring the game back into Australia.
The broadcast is expected to take in little more than the game itself, but it’s a chance for rugby fans to watch the players who haven’t had any game time in the Spring Tour squad yet.
