The Baa-Baas or BARBARIANS to give them their proper name is an international club based in London who INVITE players past and present and of good character (on and off the pitch) to play against other International teams.

MORE RUGBY UNION NEWS ~ IRELAND!

JOE SCHMIDT:

Ireland's Head Coach JOE SCHMIDT has announced he will be retiring after the Rugby World next year.

In five years under his leadership, Ireland have won no less than three Six Nations Championships, and recorded their first-ever wins over his home nation of New Zealand.

Ireland's Defence Coach, ANDY FARRELL, will then be taking over from New Zealander Joe Schmidt....... And mighty big boots they will indeed be to fill!

IRFU chief executive Philip Browne said: "We are delighted to have secured Andy as in-coming head coach".



ANDY FARRELL:

Andy Farrell has a" dual code" background- He has played in both Rugby Union and Rugby League for England.

He is considered one of the best Defence Coaches in World Rugby!

His son has made quite a name in rugby himself. He is England's first choice kicker and Co-Captain (with Dylan Hartley) OWEN FARRELL
