EC Barbarians
The world famous Team EC made up of a wider array of heroes the Marvel Superheroes couldn't handle, watch us take the field at the Cape Town 10's every year.
Est 2012 A bunch of mates predominantly from the Eastern Cape South Africa! Team EC now has friends from all across the globe and has seen a few foreigners join the ranks since 2016. The more the merrier! Rugby, beers and great memories in the making!
That Friday feeling...
Yet another , our Irish international Hugh Hogan has let himself go a bit but luckily found himself a home in the boxing ring! The ability to adapt to all kinds of circumstances is key
He will he missed this year, yet again but it would be wrong not to include him in our

Find yourself someone that looks at you the way Pierre Cronje looks at his drink! Happy Friday Zando Cape Town 10s
2 weeks to go until we return to scene of "The Greatest Show on Earth", Cape Town 10s!
Where the beers are cold and the skies are blue!
As sore as the bodies and heads may be, if you throw in a few cold beers and some music, you will most certainly see the EC Barbarians giving it a full go!
Happy birthday to our Captain oh Captain...
Just remember when the hangover and the sore body is getting you down fearless soldiers of Team EC this is what you have to look forward to in the evening. The week is here!!!
The fixtures are out and once again Team EC have drawn the short end of the stick and get an early morning kickoff!
Highly experienced Mangers Jambles Charton and Gavin Roos will need to be at the top of their game to ensure the full quota of 10 players take to the field, unlike previous years where the Thursday night capping ceremony has got the better of the boys!
However, the eternal optimist Andy Skinstad was last heard saying "Look on the bright side, the earlier our first game is the earlier we hit the beer tent". Every cloud has a silver lining!
Mark McChlery the robust blindside flanker has assured the team that will be there early to ensure the kit, the water bottles and the beer tokens are ready so ensure a smooth transition from pitch to beer tent!
Please come along and support the lads
Jump and Jive
Come alive
The EC Boys have just arrived
A to a pre-match gathering for Team EC before an early morning Saturday kickoff! One would be forgiven for thinking that the boys had moved straight from the beer tent to the changeroom. The price you pay for overachieving off the field!
Trent “The Hitman Heart” Jones, a Team EC and Cape Town 10s virgin! A man that has sold everything he owns in Sydney in order to make sure he was able to make the trip to Sunny South Africa. A lawyer by trade, he knows if push comes to shove Arrie will ensure he has a desk available for him.
A man who’s chiseled features could make even Henk de Villiers a little skittish when in his company. Discovered by the Jamboys at the Bangkok 10s in 2015 Trent understands the term “play hard, party harder” more than most!

Rugby is all about finding the gaps and this is the best gap Team EC has seen in a while...
Happy Birthday to one on Team EC's finest humans Jambles Charton. The day he took the field time stood still and you could almost hear the panic in the opposition's minds.
Hopefully we see him with ball in hand again this year!
