Ryno Barnes
Ryno Joseph Barnes (born 5 November 1981) is a South African professional rugby union footballer, who most recently played with the Free State Cheetahs. His regular playing position is hooker.
Barnes started his senior career with Cape Town-based Western Province during the 2006 Vodacom Cup. He made his debut against the Mighty Elephants in Port Elizabeth, coming on as a late substitute. He was promoted to the starting line-up for their next match against the Golden Lions in Cape Town the following week and eventually made a total of thirteen appearances for Western Province during the competition.
In 2007, Barnes moved north to East Rand-based side the Falcons. He appeared in all six of the Falcons' matches in the 2007 Vodacom Cup and scored his first senior try on his Falcons debut, a 17–13 victory over the Griffons in Welkom in the opening match of the season, following this up with his second senior try a week later against Griquas in Nigel.
Barnes made his debut in the Currie Cup in 2007, coming on as a substitute in the Falcons' match against Boland Cavaliers in Brakpan. He played in ten of the Falcons matches during the 2007 Currie Cup Premier Division – scoring one try against the Sharks – but could not prevent them finishing bottom of the log.
Barnes established himself as the first choice hooker at the Falcons in 2008, starting all seven of their matches during the 2008 Vodacom Cup and appearing in all fourteen of their matches during the 2008 Currie Cup Premier Division, where the Falcons once again finished bottom of the log, this time losing their Premier Division status in a two-legged play-off against the Leopards.
Barnes, however, continued to play at Premier Division level as he made the move to Kimberley-based side Griquas for the 2009 season. After making eight starts during the 2009 Vodacom Cup to help Griquas lift the trophy for the fourth time, he was also called up to a Highveld XV that played against the British & Irish Lions during their 2009 tour to South Africa. Barnes scored a first-half try in his side's spirited 25–37 loss to the touring side.
Barnes played in all fourteen of Griquas' matches in the 2009 Currie Cup Premier Division, starting twelve of those and scoring two tries – one in their match against the Leopards and another against the Blue Bulls.
His performances for the Peacock Blues in also led to him being included in the Cheetahs Super Rugby team for the 2010 Super 14 season. After being an unused substitute the first three times he was named on the bench for the Cheetahs, he eventually came on just after the hour mark in their match against the Hurricanes in Bloemfontein. He started a Super Rugby match for the first time in April 2010 when he was included in the run-on side for their match against the Chiefs in Hamilton, eventually making a total of eight appearances.
