Danny Cipriani leads Barbarians in rendition of Adele song before match that's blown fans away

Footage has emerged of the Barbarians belting out an Adele song in the changing room before playing Northampton Saints, and it has blown fans away.

The clip, which was posted by Northampton, has fast become one of the most viewed rugby videos on TikTok, with more than 200,000 views in the last 24 hours alone.

During the autumn series, the Barbarians played four matches against All Blacks XV, Harlequins, Bath and Northampton. A number of world stars were on display for the iconic side across the series, including Welsh internationals Rhys Webb and Aaron Wainwright.

Prior to the game against Northampton, the likes of Danny Cipriani and former Cardiff Rugby man Will Boyde were filmed belting out Someone Like You by Adele.

Cipriani appears to be in his element, motivating the team before the big chorus. Former England centre Luther Burrell is visibly pumped after the impressive rendition, as the team clap their efforts.

Fans have been taken aback by the quality of the singing in the comments.

"Giving me the shivers," said one.

"This gave me goosebumps," said another.

"There’s something unbelievably powerful about watching big, hard rugby lads singing together like that. Chills," added a third.

Northampton ran out 45-39 victors at Franklin's Gardens, with new Ospreys man Owen Williams and former Wales international Jonah Holmes also featuring for the BaaBaas.
