Just in closing, I would like to thank the NZ Barbarian Rugby Football Club for getting behind the middleweight team in its third year. When speaking to players over the years and how they felt putting on the famous red jersey for the first time, they all said they grew an extra two feet and the honour that goes with it, the history, famous names, and their confidence has reached a new level for the future. The Barbarians gave them all an opportunity. Thank you for that.
