There can't be a rugby fan in the world who doesn't love the Barbarians. Everything about the Baa Baas is just a good idea with their brand of rugby being front and centre in that.
They're coming to Thomond Park in May to take on Ireland and although Joe Schmidt might be hamstrung by the fact that the Pro 12 final takes place on May 30th, just two days later, the Baa Baas are bringing a top quality squad.

Today they added the formidable southern hemisphere trio of Rene Ranger, Joe Rokocoko and David Smith to a squad that looks like it will certainly be a match for anything Ireland can throw at them.

Kim Kardashian references aside, it's sure to be a great occasion with the kind of talent that the Baa Baas are bringing to Limerick.
