For over a century the Barbarians, a rugby touring club without a permanent base, have travelled the length and breadth of Britain and Europe and as far afield as South Africa, Japan, Russia, and North and South America to play matches against the mighty and the minnows. The most famous players in the history of the game, from Gareth Edwards to Gavin Hastings, Michael Lynagh to Jonah Lomu, or Serge Blanco to Jeremy Guscott, have worn the famous black-and-white shirt of the Barbarians. The Barbarians is the updated official history of the legendary touring club and includes personal reflections and anecdotes from several celebrated players from around the world. Famous matches such as the incomparable defeat of the 1973 All Blacks and ground-breaking tours to Canada and South Africa are recalled through the eyes of the stars who took part. Full coverage is also given to the Barbarians continuing contact with the grassroots of the game in Britain and the fostering of the sport in developing rugby nations such as Portugal.
