Glittering BaaBaas backline revealed for 4 Dec clash

O’Connor, who will be joined by his Wallabies teammate Matt Giteau in the Baabaas backline, converted his own last minute, match-winning try in last weekend’s stunning victory over the All Blacks, will make his debut for the club. He will be surrounded by experience however as All Black winger, Joe Rokocoko, makes his fourth appearance in the famous black and white jersey. French fly-half, Trinh-Duc also makes his debut for the club and his Gallic flair with ball in-hand will undoubtedly suit the famous ethos of Baabaas rugby.

But it’s not only the backline that boasts the planet’s best rugby players – the forwards include All Blacks hooker, Keven Mealamu, Ireland’s most-capped player ever, John Hayes, and Italy legend Salvatore Perugini. They will be joining Wales and British Lions Martin Williams and Kiwi giant Rodney So’oialo.
Hayes, who has won over 100 caps for Ireland will be making his debut for the club as will Kiwi Keven Mealamu, who given his predilection to keep the ball in hand will fit in well with the Baabaas style of running rugby.
