BARBOS CLAW THEIR WAY THROUGH GRIZZLES
Your Denver Barbarians defeated the Colorado Springs Grizzlies 50-0 on a cold and windy spring day. Robert Valle scored a hat trick of tries off the bench as the Barbos finally adjusted to the adverse windy conditions and adapted their strategy. Many of the first half passes that didn’t go to hand (perhaps due to a combination of frozen fingers and air-headedness) finally hit home when the Barbos put together one of the more beautiful open field tries we have seen this season!
Take a look below as Luca Tani puts Robert Valle away with a snappy flat ball under pressure !
Liam Wynne (pictured below), had a fantastic game and helped the Barbos move from an offload-driven attack (which the conditions didn’t call for) into a bone crunching, “man on man”, physical clash. The Barbos have found success with Noah “The Wizard” Pflaum at flyhalf paired up with Wynne at inside center. They can both kick effectively, make line breaks & most importantly ….. are sure tacklers.
The Barbos will look to continue their winning ways as an old rival comes into town. The Kansas City Blues 2nd XV will square off against the Denver Barbarians 2nd XV at Cook Park in Denver. The game will kick off at 3pm. It will be a beautiful Colorado day to rekindle an old American Club Rugby rivalry! The lineup for tomorrow’s clash is below.
