Teddy Thomas’ 51st minute try, a peach which he helped setup by hacking a grubber in-field for centre Joe Marchant, who popped the final offload from the deck after he was dragged down short.

Substitute halfback Rhys Webb’s 59th minute try – he dummied and sniped from close range – gave the Barbarians a 35-24 lead with 20 to play, one they had a chance to extend in the final quarter.

However, their willy-nilly style comes with errors, and allowed the Kiwis to roar back into the game they started so well.
