Possible content fork

I'm not sure, but I'm thinking this might be a content fork of Australia A national rugby union team. Would someone check this out to verify or disprove this? —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 15:36, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Don't think thats the case as Barbarians became Australian A in 2010 and have a previous history back to 1957. Atlantic306 (talk) 23:14, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They are two Separate Entities. Australia A is (or was until the end of 2008) the second national team, but is now essentially defunct. The Australian Barbarians Rugby Club has fielded invitational teams dating back to 1957. In a short period from 2010 to 2011, a few Barbarians teams were nominated as the second national side (filling the vacancy). Outside that brief window, however, the Barbarians Club has remained an invitational side. They are still active, as of 2016. -- Ham105 (talk) 03:46, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
