Simon Zebo and Joey Barton had the craic on Twitter last night, with the Burnley midfielder giving the Irish and Munster star some tips on his tackling- of the football variety!
Munster were back in light training yesterday, after their Champions Cup success over Racing 92 last weekend.
During the session, they played a game of football and Zebo was taking no prisoners with his tackling, modelling his style on Roy Keane...or maybe Joey Barton!

Barton was impressed, but had some advice on Zebo’s technique:
Good technique. Got to get ball or man big man. You got neither there! None shall pass. https://t.co/WjuzMkYDQS

As Zebo mentions, Barton’s foreign languages could do with some work. This is from his time at Marseille:
