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.
Deep hear applied, can do attitude located & flair uncorked. We’re ready #rugby #rugbyunited #Baabaas #ENGvBAR pic.twitter.com/YUx5ltn129

Matthew Tait shows some silky feet. Great to see him out there. My favourite comeback since Take That #Baabaas #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR

Smokin’ @J_Rokocoko looks up for it today. He’s dancing around like a muscular Billy Elliot #Baabaas #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR

Try! Yarde switches from rapid to electric & scorches down touchline. Any quicker & he’d end up in year 2027 #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR

The lad was as self-aware as he was excitable.
Toot! Toot! Waldrom busts through middle like an armoured train dragging a small city. Neat hands..Try THORN! #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR

I was so excited by Brad’s try I called Waldrom Waldron…nobody tell him. He’s pretty hard! 5-7 #Baabaas #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR

More @EnglandRugby pressure. Taking shine to #Baabaas line. Chuck in off street parking & they might move in #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR

Cipriani’s flashiness was well-received.
Pen by @DannyCipriani87 Not angry as know he’d have loved to tap & go. He’s got more flair than a 70s wardrobe #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR

It was easy reading even for rugby dummies.
Nice creativity in middle but ball slips out. Larger gentlemen now lock arms or ‘scrum’ as they call it #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR

Can Mr & Mrs Wade please collect Christian from the West car park please? He’s been causing some trouble. H/T #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR
— Barbarian FC (@Barbarian_FC) May 31, 2015
He made sure to remind the readers that the Barbarians hadn’t called it quits at half-time.
Don’t worry, we haven’t snuck out the back & grabbed an Uber. We’ll be back out shortly… #Baabaas #rugby #rugbyunited #EngvBAR

5-52. Might have a solution for Wade & co. We’ll dig & hole under posts & cover it with leaves… #Baabaas #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR

#Baabaas are in @EnglandRugby ‘s half. It’s actually quite pleasant. We should come here more often #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR

A second reference to Take That? Yes please.
Huge charge upfield from legendary Thorn. He’s all power, pumping legs & a slight Gary Barlow beard #Baabaas #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR
— Barbarian FC (@Barbarian_FC) May 31, 2015
It was poetic at times.
Fujita pins ears back & pegs upfield. Turnover & counter. Lactic acid gauge is creeping towards critical #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR

It’s given. Shake it off by Taylor Swift blares out. Think 66 points might take some shaking… 12-66. 75 #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR
— Barbarian FC (@Barbarian_FC) May 31, 2015
And that did it for another massively enjoying day’s work.
Full time. Thank you everyone for support & patience today 12-73. Tough shift Thanks @EnglandRugby & well done #rugby #rugbyunited #ENGvBAR
