The upcoming clash between Fiji’s national rugby union team and Barbarians FC at Twickenham Stadium for the 2024 edition of the Killik Cup promises to be an action-packed event. Scheduled for Saturday, June 22 at 12:15 a.m. EDT, this annual invitational game is highly anticipated, particularly as the Barbarians, having secured three consecutive Killik Cup victories, faces off against the formidable Fiji team which reached the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 2007.
Notably, the BaaBaas have put together an impressive squad for this showdown, led by All Blacks legend Sam Whitelock, who will retire after the match. Expectations are high for an exhilarating test match, especially considering Fiji’s power and attacking prowess. In addition, Fiji comes into the match with the momentum of a dramatic 33-31 victory in their most recent meeting with the Barbarians in 2019 at Twickenham.
