Two tries for Tomane in Barbarians win

Wallabies winger Joe Tomane scored two tries for the Barbarians in a 62-14 win over English Premiership side Gloucester on Tuesday.

Wallabies winger Joe Tomane scored two tries for the Barbarians in a 62-14 win over English Premiersip side Gloucester on Tuesday.

The star-studded invitational Barbarians, guided by Australia coach Michael Cheika, crossed for 10 tries at Gloucester's home ground at Kingsholm.

Cheika fielded a side of World Cup stars from the southern hemisphere with 573 caps' worth of international experience against a second-string team of youngsters, with predictable results.

Fiji's Nemani Nadolo, New Zealanders Nehe Milner-Skudder, Ryan Crotty, Ardie Savea, Tawera Kerr-Barlow and Waisake Naholo as well as South Africa's Lood de Jager and Pat Lambie supplied the rest of the tries.

Australians James Hanson, Toby Smith, Stephen Hoiles, Jarrad Butler all started for the BaaBaas while top Wallabies Stephen Moore, Scott Fardy and Tevita Kuridrani were on the bench.

Gloucester flanker Dan Thomas scored an opportunist first-half effort and his side claimed a second-half penalty try when the Barbarians - who take on Argentina at Twickenham on Saturday - pulled down a driving maul.
