SCOTLAND...33 BARBARIANS...40: A star-studded Barbarians side proved just too strong for Scotland in an open Murrayfield game that yielded 11 tries on Saturday.

Ireland outhalf David Humphreys converted five of the Baa-Baas' six tries, while Scotland number eight Allister Hogg was named man of the match for a two-try performance.

The Baa-Baas opened the scoring when scrumhalf Mark Robinson wrenched the ball from Chris Cusiter and fed Vilimoni Delasau, who ran in unopposed.

Scotland were showing plenty of enterprise but were unpicked by a moment of Brian O'Driscoll magic as a superb pass allowed fellow Irishman Shane Horgan to charge forward before setting up Delasau. The Fijian was stopped inches short but Robinson was on hand to pick up and score.

The Murrayfield crowd finally had something to cheer when Cusiter intercepted a pass and fed Dan Parks, who cut in from the right for a try under the posts.

The Barbarians added a third try as Robinson and full back Christian Cullen set up Horgan. And the Leinster man made it four two minutes later as he rounded off a sweeping move.

Scotland hit back early in the second half as Hogg muscled his way over but the Barbarians extended their lead when Skinstad sent Cullen in to score.

The hosts came back with excellent tries by Chris Paterson and Allen Jacobsen, but Baa-baas captain Taine Randell restored the advantage before Hogg burst through to score his second try.
