Canadian fullback James Pritchard scores as Barbarians post big rugby win

EDINBURGH, Scotland – Canadian international fullback James Pritchard scored a try and kicked six conversions for the Barbarians all-star team in a 97-31 win Tuesday over Heriot’s in an exhibition rugby game marking the 125th anniversary of both clubs.

The Barbarians, an invitational side, ran in 15 tries to five for Heriot’s.

“Well what an experience,” tweeted Pritchard, Canada’s all-time points leader. “Have only just got my breath back from the game. Definitely a highlight of my career.”

Namibian international winger Chrysander Botha scored four tries for the Barbarians.
