Good players for it presume it won't be televised though.

That would be a really good squad if it didn't have Deacon Manu in it

[TRF_Olyy]

Martyn Williams is Asian-Pacific these days?


Will be great to see Henry Tuilagi back on the international scene - hopefully Sarries record the whole thing and put it on their site or put out extended highlights of it or something.

Since it's in the national Hong Kong Stadium and not the small Hong Kong Football club one, i have a feeling it might be televised

Shane and Martyn

Another last match for Shane?
Must be the smallest Islander ever.

So I totally read this as 'the Charteris cup' at first...

You aren't the only one.
Charvis Cup would be an interesting one.

[ZeFrenchy]

Five specialist wingers out of eleven players. I guess we could see something like... Shane at scrum-half, Bobo and Tuilagi at centre...

Saracens 20-22 Asian Pacific Barbarians

The APB's won in the last minute with a penalty by Seveali'i

on paper the Asian Pacific Barbarians would have annihilated that Saracens side

Saracens:
Tries: Jamie George, Nathan Earle
Conversions: Nils Mordt (2)
Penalty: Nils Mordt (2)

Asian Pacific Barbarians:
Tries: Martyn Williams, Rico Gear (2)
Conversions: Orene Ai'i (2)
Penalty: Elvis Seveali'i
