The Czech Republic took on the Barbarians last night and it didn’t go quite according to plan.
The Czech side consisted mostly of semi-pros, with the nation currently ranked 32nd in the world, one behind Switzerland and one ahead of Ukraine. Safe to say, it ended up being more of a spectacle, than a game of rugby, with the BaaBaas running out 71-0 winners in the end.
Ulster’s Dan Tuohy captained an experienced Barbarians account, full of seasoned internationals, but it was their Twitter account that put in the most impressive performance last night. Their social media is renowned for being absolutely hilarious, and once again- they didn’t disappoint last night, check it out below.
Here’s a #FactCzech to set the scene before KO – #CzechRepublic are ranked 32nd in world & have 5 pros #rugby #rugbyunited #worldrugby

Czech captain is a semi-pro cage fighter & a Policeman. Don’t break law or they’ll send him to find you 😳 #rugby #rugbyunited #worldrugby
