Pat Barnard's position of choice is at prop.
Barnard was a member of the South African side that won the 2002 Under 21 Rugby World Championship.[1] His performances in the tournament led to him being made U21 Player of the Year at the IRB Awards.[2]
Barnard represented Western Province in the Currie Cup.[3] The Stormers loaned him to the Cats for the 2003 Super 12 season.[4]
He made 11 appearances for the Stormers in the 2004 Super 12 season,[5] including a semi final defeat to the Crusaders.[6] After making only two appearances for the Stormers in the 2005 Super 12 season,[5] Barnard signed for the Northampton Saints.[7] During his spell at the club Barnard was named in the England Elite Player Squad, qualifying for England courtesy of his mother, who is from Reading.[8] After Saints were relegated in the 2006–07 Guinness Premiership, Barnard signed for London Wasps.[9]
His time at Wasps was interrupted by injuries,[10] although he did play in the final of the 2007–08 Guinness Premiership.[11]
Barnard joined French club CA Brive for the 2009–10 Top 14 season.[12]
