The All Blacks take on the Baa-Baas at Twickenham in December as part of New Zealand's annual tour of the northern hemisphere. It's the first time in five years that the world's best side has come up against the Barbarians, the famous British-based invitation-only team that don the trademark black and white hoops. Following November test matches against Wales, Italy, England and France, New Zealand cap their tour with this showpiece clash at the home of English rugby. The last time the two teams faced off, back in 2004, the All Blacks humbled the Barbarians 47-19. But the most memorable meeting was in 1973, when Welshman Gareth Edwards scored what is often cited as rugby union's greatest try ever to lead the Barbarians to a 23-11 win. For a pre-Christmas cracker of free-flowing rugby then head to Twickenham for this oval extravaganza.About Twickenham Stadium
The home of English rugby at Twickenham is England's second largest stadium (after Wembley Stadium), with steeply banked stands that create an impressive roar when an international match is in progress. While rugby remains very much a second-choice sport in the rest of southern England, the stadium has had a profound effect on the whole surrounding area: Twickenham is the only part of London where the pubs will show rugby matches in preference to football, and where you're far more likely to hear Swing Low, Sweet Chariot than any football club songs.
