CARDIFF, Wales (AP) — Fiji fullback Isa Nacewa grabbed a last-gasp try to earn the Barbarians a 31-28 victory over Wales at Millennium Stadium, ruining Gavin Henson's return to the Welsh side after a 27-month absence.
Nacewa struck from long range in the final minute to lift the invitation side to a second straight win, after beating England 38-32 with a late try last weekend.
The Baa-baas led 19-14 at halftime after tries by Nacewa, Joe Tekori and Sergio Parisse but Mike Phillips and Aled Brew went over for converted scores to give the Welsh a 28-19 cushion.
Mathieu Bastareaud's 72nd-minute try narrowed the deficit before Nacewa's late heroics.
Henson played 62 minutes in his first start for Wales since March 2009 before being substituted.
