Both the Barbarians men’s team and their women’s side will play a double header at Twickenham with the women taking on the Springboks and the men facing Samoa. It will be the first time the Barbarians have hosted a men’s and women’s match on the same day.
The women’s team last played in November 2019 where they defeated Wales 29-15 at the Principality Stadium. Taylor, who was formerly Wales Women’s skills coach, will assist Worcester Warriors coach Jo Yapp.
She is now Sale Sharks Women’s high performance coach, and won 67 caps for Wales as a player. “We are thrilled to welcome Jo and Rachel back to coach Barbarian Women this November,” said Barbarian FC President John Spencer.
“It will be an historic day as the Barbarians host our first-ever double header as the home team at Twickenham and I know the Barbarians’ trademark style of passion, skill and flair will be out in full force as the men’s team take on Samoa and the women play Springbok Women’s XV.”
