Barbarians 40 - 7 Fiji, Belfast

A Barbarians side led by former All Blacks scrum-half Andy Ellis cruised over to a comfortable 40-7 victory comprising of six impressive tries over Fiji at Belfast on Friday.

Hooker Armand van der Merwe (1, 17) scored a double, while right-wing Matt Faddes (5), scrum-half Ellis (25), replacements Richie Mo'unga (74) and Luke Morahan (79) scored a try each.

Fly-half Robert du Preez managed to convert five out of five tries while retiring Lions lock Martin Muller was handed the final conversion shot and missed by some distance.

Right-wing Waisea Nayacalevu Vuidravuwalu (54) was the lone try scorer for Fiji while left-wing Nemani Nadolo managed to convert Vuidravuwalu's try.

Fiji will now face England next weekend, then Japan in France.
