They might have lost by 61 points but the Barbarians are still winners in our eyes.

We thought the hilarious live-tweeting display put on by the genius behind their social media when they beat Ireland this week might have been a fluke. But we found out that it's very much a regular occurrence with the gems that popped up on our Twitter feed when England put the Baa Baas to the sword by a scoreline of 73-12. The spelling might have gotten off to a shaky start but the content was enjoyable nonetheless. The lad was as self-aware as he was excitable. Cipriani's flashiness was well-received. It was easy reading even for rugby dummies. He made sure to remind the readers that the Barbarians hadn't called it quits at half-time. A second reference to Take That? Yes please. It was poetic at times. And that did it for another massively enjoying day's work.
