However, this is yet to be confirmed by a late pitch inspection. For now all of the match's are still on.

Even if the matchs are postponed the club will be open, we have our former players luncheon celebrating 40 years of colts rugby at Broadstreet RFC and the Barbarians game against South Africa at Twickenham available on the big screen.

Australia utility back Matt Giteau will captain the Barbarians. The 28-year-old will be making his third appearance in four years for the Baa-Baas, but will skipper the side for the first time.

He will start at stand-off and form a half-back partnership with Wallabies team-mate Will Genia, in a side that includes six Australia internationals and five All Blacks
