The All Blacks begin their European Spring Tour with a keenly-anticipated match against a Barbarians team full of familiar faces and we'll bring you the match LIVE and FREE on beIN SPORTS CONNECT.
The All Blacks' Spring Tour of Europe begins with a match-up against a talented Barbarians team featuring New Zealand internationals Steven Luatua, Julian Savea, Ben Franks and Luke Whitelock.
Coached by another Kiwi - ex-Crusaders and Australia boss Robbie Deans - the Barbarians will be desperate to upset the world number one-ranked team as it seeks to bounce back from its Bledisloe Cup loss to the Wallabies in Brisbane in October.
