Chucking the ball around

Thursday 6 Nov 2014

The game between the Leicester Tigers and the Barbarians at Welford Road on Tuesday provided much to cheer about.

Both teams played in the true spirit of exhibition rugby, with some sublime skills on display which was a fitting tribute to the end of Sharks flank Jacques Botes' long career.

Botes' former teammate and current Springbok tourist Pat Lambie tweeted a video from the Leicester Tigers' Youtube channel which shows just how lucky the 11 169 people at the ground were.

@JacquesBotes6 Well done Botesie! What a way to finish http://t.co/IIsGDNIPak #legend
