The tourists held their own for the first half hour but were then swept aside by a wave of South African attacks and the boot of Eric Herbert. Herbert converted six of the seven tries and also kicked three penalties for a haul of 21 points.Three Herbert penalties were the only scores in the first 30 minutes, a period in which the Pumas did well at the line-outs but when Chris Badenhorst won the race to a chip kick for the A side's first try it was the signal for the floodgates to open.The Pumas' only response were four penalties from Francisco Garcia.. BLACKBURN'S blues refuse to blow away completely, and last night Kenny Dalglish's expensively assembled ensemble could produce no more than a 1-1 draw at Second Division Birmingham City. Even that was no formality, Chris Sutton's 71st-minute equaliser cancelling out Steve McGavin's early goal for the hosts and securing a 2-1 aggregate win. Stan Collymore spurned a host of chances as Nottingham Forest, 2-1 up from the first leg, moved into the third round after a goalless draw at Third Division Hereford.Swansea, of the Second Division, were 1-0 winners over Norwich at the Vetch Field, but the Premiership side went through thanks to their 3-0 first-leg victory. Colin Pascoe scored for the Welsh side, who had Kwame Ampadu sent off in the second half.John Goodman's 64th- minute goal earned Millwall a 3-2 aggregate victory over Sunderland at Roker Park. Millwall led 2-1 from the first leg, but Phil Gray equalised in the 58th minute before Goodman's decisive intervention.Lee Richardson was Oldham's match-winner as they made hard work of beating Oxford United at Boundary Park. The Second Division high-flyers frustrated Oldham for 75 minutes before Richardson made the breakthrough for a 1-0 win which sealed a 2-1 aggregate victory for the First Division side.Rangers, the Scottish champions, yesterday agreed a price of pounds 350,000 with Tranmere Rovers for the sale of the former England full- back Gary Stevens, who has yet to agree personal terms.. Newport .45 Barbarians.

.54 ENTERTAINMENT was the only name of the game at Rodney Parade last night as the Barbarians and Newport combined to run riot in running up a record score. Between them, they comfortably eclipsed the 75 points of 11 years ago with 27 minutes to spare as they piled up 15 tries.And it was very much two- way traffic. Newport, despite languishing in the lower reaches of the Heineken First Division, took the opportunity to throw the ball about with abandon in this 88th meeting between the sides.Away from the pressure of league rugby, the only points that mattered were those on the board and the modest crowd certainly had their money's worth.The Baa-Baas, who included seven internationals, did fall behind to an early try from David Rees, the Newport full-back showing some delightful off-the-cuff touches. Ultimately, though, the Barbarians had that little extra in terms of pace and power, Derek Stark leading the procession with a hat- trick of tries.However, it was Steve Ojomoh, England's barnstorming back-row forward, who got the Barbarian bandwagon rolling when he muscled his way over from a tap- penalty move.Mark Taylor, the Pontypool centre who is tipped by many for a rise to the top, was a constant threat in midfield and it was from one of his breaks that Stark collected the first of his tries. For his next, he was involved three times in a thrillingly sustained attack.Taylor complemented the efforts of his forwards with the next before Andy Gomersall strolled over unopposed, Simon Hodgkinson adding five immaculate conversions.In between all this, Newport managed to keep themselves in touch with tries from Mark Workman, Simon Enoch and Andy Griffiths, while Byron Hayward made two conversions in a first-half spree of 59 points.It was virtually the same again after half-time, Luc Evans, Stark and Taylor crossing for the Barbarians, with Hogkinson missing just one conversion on the night.There were three more tries from Newport, Hayward converting the lot but, as hard as both sides tried, they collectively missed out on topping three figures by a point.Newport: Tries Rees 2, Workman, Enoch, Griffiths, Manson-Bishop, Atkins; Conversions Hayward 5.
