We've been very enamoured with the Barbarians in the lead up to Thursday's clash with Ireland in Thomond Park, and that has really continued today. Shane Jennings has been named captain of the Barbarians side in a what is likely to be his last game in rugby.
Not going to be Leinster coach Robbie Deans has named a very strong side for the game with the likes of Ruan Pienaar, Joe Rokocoko and Alex Cuthbert sure to test an experimental Irish selection.
