The Barbarians players included cattle producers, agents, buyers and beef industry identities.
They showed plenty of heart but were beaten convincingly by the Classic Wallabies, who were captained by Lote Luqiri and included the likes of Stephen Moore, Nathan Sharpe and George Smith.
Hanson said despite the result, he and his teammates were thrilled to be involved.
âThat was living a lifelong dream to play against the Wallabies. I loved every minute that we were out there,â he said.
âThe idea came up to put a beef industry team together. It took a bit of doing and the first time the whole team met was on Thursday at five oâclock for the captainâs run.
