Wales manage to work the ball into the Baa-Baas 22, Johnny Williams with a nice carry, but they are once again penalised at the breakdown.

Corey Domachowski is holding his shoulder area.
The regions have been without these internationals for so long, you don't want them to get an injury and be out for weeks and months.

Or not!
Corey Domachowski gets the once over by the medics and is now back on the field preparing for a Welsh scrum midway inside the Barbarians half.

Corey Domachowski is clutching at his left shoulder and looks in a fair amount of pain.
This is probably the end of the afternoon for the Cardiff Rugby prop.

Tom Rogers goes on a mazy run but eventual over-does it as he finds himself surrounded by five black and white jerseys.
The Scarlets wing does manage to recycle the ball, but the referee brings the game to a stop as Corey Domachowski is down injured.

Feels a little early to be dishing out cards already!
Try - Wales 7-5 Barbarians
Simione Kuruvoli
The Baa-Baas take immediate advantage of the extra man.
Nicolas Sanchez's penalty works the Barbarians deep into the Welsh 22, and from a breakdown Simione Kuruvoli's dummy pass fools Dewi Lake and Ben Carter to allow the Fijian to scamper over for a try.
Sanchez's conversion hits the post so Wales stay in the lead - just.
Sin-bin - Adam Beard
Wales 7-0 Barbarians
This may be a friendly but there are still rules.
Adam Beard is sent to the sin bin for being deliberately offside.

Ben Carter was close to stealing a second line-out for Wales but the Baa-Baas just hold onto the ball.

Wales 7-0 Barbarians
Sam Costelow's cross-field kick is well caught by Tom Rogers but the Scarlets man is guilty of holding onto the ball on the floor and the Barbarians can clear their lines.

Wales 7-0 Barbarians
Wales are back on the front foot, with George North and Rio Dyer combining well down the left hand side.
Sam Costelow has played a couple of neat inside passes already this afternoon as he stakes his claim for the Wales 10 jersey.

It was a lovely reverse pass from Sam Costelow which helped unlock the defence for that try.
He will be under the microscope today as he looks the immediate heir apparent to the number ten jersey for the Six Nations after the departures of Dan Biggar and Gareth Anscombe.

Nicolas Sanchez' kick moves the Baa-Baas midway inside the Welsh half but Aaron Wainwright steals the ball back at the line-out.

The scrum takes a few attempts before referee Andrea Piardi is finally happy.
Tomos Williams goes right, his pass looks a few yards forwards, but the Barbarians eventually win a penalty at the breakdown just outside their own 22.

That was nice play, you've got to complement the hands of George North as well. The timing of the move seemed slightly off so he showed good hands to keep the ball alive.
Dewi Lake has had some involvement in this game with only a few minutes gone.
Post update
Wales 7-0 Barbarians
Nicolas Sanchez's restart goes straight out of bounds so it will be a Welsh scrum in the middle of the field.
Sanchez's Argentina were of course the side that knocked Wales out of the World Cup just a few weeks ago.
Converted try - Wales 7-0 Barbarians
Dewi Lake, con Leigh Halfpenny
The perfect start for Wales.
A nice reverse pass from Sam Costelow is collected by George North who finds the first big gap in the Barbarians defence.
He offloads to Tomos Williams who gets within a couple yards of scoring, before Dewi Lake powers over for the try.
Leigh Halfpenny - on his final international match - adds the conversion.

Wales 0-0 Barbarians
Sam Costelow's penalty moves Wales to just outside the Barbarians 22.
There is a first carry of the game for Leigh Halfpenny, as Wales go through the phases without gaining many yards.

Ben Carter made a mess of collecting the kick-off but Wales win back possession and the first penalty of the match just inside their own half.
Kick-off
