One year on, the club also faced the touring New Zealand Cavaliers. During the 1987 rebel South Sea Barbarians' 13 match tour (a team made up of representatives from Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and one Canadian(!)), organised in lieu of the cancelled visit by Australia, the SA Barbarians played two matches. No official test matches took place between the teams, however, in contrast to the 1985 and 1986 sides, the 1987 SA Barbarians lineup had a far more distinct Springbok XV feel to it despite some senior players questioning the quality of the opposition. The South Sea tourists were defeated 56–30 at Ellis Park but pushed their hosts considerably closer at Kings Park one week later in a narrower 38–32 loss. Earlier in March of the same year, a fixture to commemorate the centenary of the Crusaders club of Port Elizabeth had seen the Barbarians record a 16–10 victory. In 1988 a multiracial side (the SA Barbarians in all but name - they toured as the Nampak Pioneers) eventually undertook a six match visit to Chile and Paraguay after a series of postponements and reschedulings. Home sides were intended to be bolstered by considerable Argentinian and Uruguayan representation - which did not come to pass and consequently a series of one sided encounters took place with over 100 points being scored against the respective national sides. As with other Barbarian clubs internationally the club has struggled to get fixtures in the professional era although it hosted a touring Welsh XV in June 1993 when (despite the inclusion of nine Springboks and three Namibian internationals) Wales ran out comfortable winners, 56–17. The SA Barbarians subsequently toured to the UK later on in the same year. Many well-known international players from other countries have represented the club including Hugo Porta, Jean-Pierre Rives, Tom Grace and Fergus Slattery. The 1992 SA Barbarian side that played against Transvaal featured Philippe Sella, Philippe Saint-André, Peter Winterbottom and Willie Ofahengaue. The following players were named in the team to play the in the 2013 Lions Challenge Series:  Head Coach: Pine Pienaar
