Barbarians to face Samoa in first rugby match at the Stadium
Barbarians to face Samoa in first rugby match at the Stadium
Story 19/02/2015
The iconic venue will see a clash between the Barbarians and Samoa as part of England Rugby 2015's testing programme ahead of the Rugby World Cup later in the year.
The match, which will take place at 3pm on August 29 2015, will be the first rugby match to be played at the venue. As well as acting as a test event for the venue, it forms part of a number of high profile international matches throughout the year played by the Barbarians in celebration of their 125th anniversary.
Their opponents, Samoa, will utilise the match as a final warm-up opportunity before opening their Rugby World Cup campaign against the USA at Brighton Community Stadium on September 20.
