Spencer also notes that the Flying Fijians’ performance during the Rugby World Cup in France closely resembled the Barbarians’ style of play.

This will be Deans’ sixth time coaching the famous team, having previously defeated the Fijians in 2016.

Deans’ most recent coaching stint with the Barbarians was in 2019 when they faced Wales.
