Baa Baas - NZ 1973 -- The Barbarian Final Challenge match with the All Blacks at Cardiff Arms Park on January 27, 1973 is celebrated as one of the best games of rugby union ever played. It was a game of attack and counter attack.

Cliff Morgan described that try by Gareth Edwards:
Kirkpatrick to Williams. This is great stuff! Phil Bennett covering chased by Alistair Scown. Brilliant, oh, that's brilliant! John Williams, Bryan Williams. Pullin. John Dawes, great dummy. To David, Tom David, the half-way line! Brilliant by Quinnell! This is Gareth Edwards! A dramatic start! What a score!!.....Oh that fellow Edwards....If the greatest writer of the written word would've written that story no-one would have believed it. That really was something.
Gareth Edwards said of the match:




"

"People tend only to remember the first four minutes of the game because of the try, but what they forgot is the great deal of good rugby played afterwards, much of which came from the All Blacks."
"For us after the success of the 1971 Lions tour, which captured the imagination of the whole country, it was an opportunity to bring a lot of that side together again."

"


The Barbarians won the match 23 -- 11 (27 -- 13 in today's scoring system), handing the All Blacks their fourth defeat of the tour.

Scorers:
Barbarians: Tries: G.O. Edwards, J.F. Slattery, John.C. Bevan, J.P.R. Williams; Conversions: Phil Bennett (2); Penalty: P. Bennett All Blacks: Tries: Grant .B. Batty (2); Penalty: J.F. Karam
