BBC to show first Barbarians match since 2009

UK public-service broadcaster the BBC has acquired rights to the upcoming international rugby union match between the Barbarians and Argentina.

The match will take place at London’s Twickenham Stadium on December 1 and will be shown live on BBC Two.

It will mark the first time that the BBC has broadcast a Barbarians match nationwide since the invitational team defeated New Zealand 25-18 in 2009.
