The Outback Barbarians momentarily became television stars on their third day in America. Skipper Trent Raymond, Wayne Wilson and James Nason and a group of Spokane Razorbacks players including their captain Nick Nolte (his real name!) lined up for 6am live KXLY studio interview to promote the Barbarians-Razorbacks match that afternoon. Media is big business in America, well illustrated by the fact that an inland city like Spokane – which is an American equivalent of Toowoomba – has no less than five major television stations competing in the city. KXLY’s live breakfast program is every bit as polished, slick and glitzy as the Australian versions of Today on Channel Nine or Sunrise on Seven. Trent Raymond told the KXLY host about the Barbarians tour and how the team came to be in Spokane. The television spot was great publicity for the game and a great boost to the local Spokane Rugby Club in its push for greater awareness for rugby in the gridiron and ice-hockey mad city.
