COACH David Conyers says he is confident the Outback Barbarians will be able to back up from today’s match with the Red Deer Titans and face a much tougher Calgary team in less than 48 hours time.
The Barba’s strong defence and cohesive backline has seen the tourists enjoy some big wins in the first four four games on the Canada leg of the 2016 tour. The division two Red Deer game is expected to be tester. However, the division one Calgary Canucks are expected to be far tougher going.
Hard hitting prop Cameron Knights (St George) has been Knights named captain for the clash.
The run on side to play Red Deer is: 1. Cameron Knights (c). 2. Rob McKeown. 3. Angus Dunn. 4. Brendan McKeown. 5. Luke Bertram. 6. Khy Bregman. 7. Martin Van Staden. 8. Jackson Brown. 9. Shaun Arnold-Brown. 10. Luke Anning. 11. Adam Conway. 12. Andrew Kliese. 13. Jesse Meinicke. 14. Jamie Deshon. 15. Jim Connors.
The Barbas go into the games without Rylie Brown (Hughenden) who injured his ankle during the Edmonton Clansmen game.
The Outback Barbarians play the Red Deer Titans at 7pm today local time (11am Qld time). The tourists than play the Calgary Canucks on July 7.
The Barbas will also enjoy two days at the famed Calgary Stampede.
