Cardiff Blues wing Alex Cuthbert grabbed a brace of tries as the Barbarians beat Ireland 22-21 for the third time in three years on Thursday night.
Leinster's South African back Zane Kirchner also scored for the Barbarians at Thomond Park as Cuthbert showed once again – following his try double against Zebre – that he was fully recovered from the hand surgery at the end of the season.
The three Irish tries came from Ulster players Craig Gilroy, Chris Henry and replacement Paddy Jackson.
Back row Henry was playing his first match in an Ireland shirt since undergoing heart surgery last year.
